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.

    Agreed. The Venn diagram of mine and my husband’s reading tastes is basically two separate circles lol. But what I do value is that we both really like reading books and talking about them and enjoying them and we share the hobby in that way without having to actually read the same content. I like Twilight and he likes American Psycho and we are both fine.
