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.

    Just seems weird to put Lawrence (revolutionary attitude towards relationships and sex in fiction) in the same category as Dan Brown (carbon copy thrillers which are objectively silly). I’ve never read any of his books but I have read a like some of Lawrence’s nature poetry which is very evocative and in places moving.
