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.

    A Hundred Years of Solitude.

    Controversial, I know, but for some reason I always associate it with people who think they’re deeper than they actually are.

    Plus the child rape and the fact that all the women in the book are either beautiful goddesses or old hags and yeah…it’s a real turn off.
