I've read Adolph Hitler's Maine Kampf and M.Kemal Ataturk's Nutuk.

You read the world's most hated book, but can't spell the title correctly?

What are you the SS?

OO7, licence to spell.

It's curious, wouldn't you say? Given the fact that we all know what Mein Kampf is about. Why did he read the book? Or perhaps: why does he say he read it?

 

[Martin]

More importantly he didn't say if he liked it, if it was good.

 

[Seven]

For what it's worth, he also misspelled Adolf Hitler.

The Haitian Revolution, 1789-1804 by Thomas O. Ott

Pretty good, not as dry as most history books. Written on the basis of primary sources which is a good thing. Makes sense out of a real complicated situation without overly confusing the reading. Not finished yet. 3 chapters to go, but they're relatively short. Should finish tomorrow or the next day. Recommended if you have any interest in Haiti.

Not my cup of tea. Though I did do some research on Haiti for my paper on HIV/AIDS.

Probably read it for reasons everyone else reads it. To get insight into the mind of one of history's most terrible people.

@Seven
So since we're on the subject, have you read it ?

That's really not the reason why most people read it. It should be the reason, but it's not.

Me either actually. And I chose it because it's relatively short. 250 pages of actual text. Though as I said, it was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be.

Not entirely, no. I don't think it's something you can get your hands on that easily in Belgium. Well, I could get the book, obviously, but still..

I haven't read it because I have no interest in the man.

I've seen it online. Could be a spoof, I didn't check. But I'm sure it's out there.

I don't expect it's really that different from similar inflammatory stuff. Just popularized.

In Belgium I'd say most of the people who read it are neonazis hoping to get their thoughts confirmed by a book from someone who they believe to be the greatest mind in the history of man. There are few things sadder than a neonazi who does not even understand the ideas of Hitler though.
