I read a couple of pages of Mein Kampf many years ago and was struck by the pomposity of its style. You can't get it in Germany unless you can show a very good scholastic reason for possessing it. I would like to read it out of curiosity, even though I am aware that it is a very bad book in many different ways. On the basis of what I read, I would say that writing, along with painting and politics was another bad career choice for the unpleasant little Austrian.
