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’m not sure I agree that just because someone has 50 Shades means they’re into BDSM to be honest. But, it’s the ‘rated it five stars’ part that would bother me, not the fact that they have it! 😃

      I hear what you’re saying here. Obviously (or perhaps not) I wouldn’t just act on assumptions. Any kink/BDSM needs to be discussed and negotiated. It’s a pretty good sign if they give it five stars that a person is at least kink-curious.

      Thanks for adding to the thread :)
