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 always thought I couldn’t date someone who didn’t read. And then I met my husband, who is a smart, articulate, educated guy who just… isn’t into novels. It ended up mattering not one bit. We have a billion other things to connect about and I have other people to talk books with.
