Honestly, this is a really touching book. Hitler was clearly a very troubled and deluded figure. Yeah the writing is a joke but that adds to the clear madness that is on display.

Any other books that take me into the mind of borderline insane individuals?

It scared me at times, and I had to put it down and take a small break before continuing.

I read somewhere that it was heavily edited by the authorities (since he published it from jail) to make it sound more over the top than what he originally intended. Is that story real?

Elliot Rodger's manifesto is fascinating.

No, the book is published as intended

You'd think that if the authorities changed it, then Hitler would have changed it back when he got to power
