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 kind of skimmed through a Couple of them decades ago and definitely didn’t pay enough attention to catch that bit yeah, that makes a lot to sense.
Totally makes.me wonder about the ex’s actual preferences now. I was trying them because they were his favorite books.
