Adolf Hitler.
I have an attraction to anything subversive or dangerous, basically if a book is considered a threat to society I have probably read it. People make fun of his art work and I don't know why, if you wanted to criticize him for something other than war crimes his book is the perfect place to start.
Never have I read anything where the author says the same things over and over with the belief that he has expressed dozens of different ideas. Now I know a lot of things don't translate well over decades and from other cultures and you have to remember time and place as well as the circumstances in which they were written.
But even still I amazed that anyone other than the most brainwashed, non critical thinker who is absolutely devoted to the idea of national socialism could read this book and come away with anything good to say. It's hundreds of pages of a kid complaining why life isn't fair and how he'd fix things if he was made "king for a day." And of course, everything is somebody else's fault. Were it not for the swastika typically put on the cover of every english translation I might think I was reading another book by Marx.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
