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 wouldn’t necessarily reject, but it’s definitely a slight flag. Not that it’s a terrible book, but you know you’re in for a ton of cliche dime store wisdom in every conversation to follow.
And you’re probably getting a packet of incense and some beads for your birthday if the relationship goes that far.
Yea it’s a more personal choice than say Mien Kampf. I absolutely cant stand that kind of pseudo philosophic drivel.
Namaste!
