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 have never heard of Nerd Porn Auteur ,and I think I would love this thing :-)

    I included one of the funniest (and best) parts, but there are some darker parts where he essentially makes fun of women who have had cosmetic surgery or who star in “traditional” pornographic content. I don’t think many women would appreciate that part, as in general few women I’ve known appreciate making fun of sex workers, even those women who have a very low opinion of pornography.

    He wrote the poem while he was in college, though, so I wouldn’t take it too seriously as being something representing his beliefs now, decades later. It could also be read as him being generally frustrated with the pornographic industry in general.

    As for being attracted to people based on their intelligence, a lot of studies suggest that many women tend to find intelligence to be a very attractive trait.

    I personally consider intelligence to be a very important factor in any person I’d date.
