I’ll go with the low-hanging fruit: Mein Kampf. I’ve read it, cover to cover. As a piece of propaganda, it’s good. As an example of good writing? Absolutely not (though I will admit I have only read it in translation). Oh, and the whole fascist, racist, and generally shitty worldview of the author that he infuses into the text. And the fact that the author is literally Hitler. You 5-star that book? You’re a Nazi. Period. And as a Jewish person, I don’t look too kindly on them.
I agree with this. I work a lot and then come home to an 8 year old so my me-time is limited. I enjoy a wide variety of books, but I also like having a book like Colleen Hoover’s that’s easy to read, gives me a little drama in my drama free life, and has a little spice that makes it fun for a girl to fantasize about. Do I think it’s a groundbreaking piece of literature that will bring about lengthy plot discussions? Nah. Is it a little guilty pleasure that brings me a slice of happiness in this crazy world? Sure!
I would appreciate the fact that anyone reads anymore at all, regardless of their taste in books (unless it was political differences.)
