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.

    Same. My mom read it and said it was pretty good and I read it as well. I don’t remember much from it but it wasnt bad. I can’t imagine what would be in it that was life changing or religious or culty.

      I still occasionally meet people and think “this person is such a poor me.”

      I don’t remember the other types though. That one stuck.
