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.

    Came here for anything Ayn Rand or Terry Goodkind. I’m seeing plenty of Ayn Rand, but I have to post because I scrolled for too long without seeing Sword of Truth.

      I liked the first few Sword Of Truth books as a teenager, then it just went off the deep end with all the bullshit, weird political stuff and I gave up.
