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 love 48 laws of power, ngl, and Greene as an author, but I do agree that Atlas Shrugged bucks.
I am a ambitious person, and the way I view the book, is the true machiavellianists guide, I read the book as both a history fan and someone obsessed with improving myself. The two ways I feel it’s best read is as a way to notice and defend vs people who will use these tactics unrestrained, or as someone who may use the tactics, but has limits, and morals.
