what started it all for you?

[Anonymous No.13528097]

what's the book that got you into reading?
for me it was unironically Mein Kampf
it's quite literally a book about everything
every 10 pages a lesson, on any topic you can imagine (short of cooking recipes)
before i read this book, i had read 0 books for pleasure, but in the time since i started Mein Kampf, i've finished 3 other books on the side.

Hi my fellow Axis member!
Italian translation was even worse because it was commissioned in a period when Italy and Germany didn’t have good relations (Mussolini sustained Dollfuss)
Fun thing is they chose a Jew to translate it

well i am a native german speaker currently an original 1937 copy and i can confirm that it's well written and thought provoking.

Let’s say for a moment he’s stating true facts
Just stating something that is true is journalism in the best case. Not literature, not even philosophy
It would be all description and zero intellectual work. You have then to interpret reality and offer some solutions to the problem you observed: Hitler does this in a retarded way
Also from a stylistic pov he’s just a technical school dropout who tries to imitate Thus Spoke Zarathustra with very poor results
There are some metaphors that suggest he had a quite of a schizo way of reasoning

And do not attempt to veil away any of the titles from our eyes. They are specifically what is to be vehemently studied, and their context evaluated.

My mom read to me every day as a child so probably this unironcally.

I read a lot as a child. No idea which book started that. Drifted away from reading at some point, then Inherent Vice got me back into it a few years ago.

its still a pretty good book. partially brilliant. he was never aiming at writting something like nietzsche or kafka. its like das kapital just reporting „facts“ and than giving a solution trough an ideology.

I’m not sure if that’s the book you want to be taking lessons from, anon but you do you

Anyways for me I really have been reading the entirety of my life with occasional lulls, but the book that really got me into a more purpose-driven goal-in-mind reading was a shortened copy of The Count of Monte Cristo (Don’t worry I eventually read the full thing).
