Wow: from what I understand, Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto are pretty turgid readings and pretty hard to get through. I've read excerpts, but I never tried to read the whole enchilada. A fellow student who read at least part of it told me that Hitler would be discussing a given topic, and then he would go off on a tirade about something else. I guess that's not surprising given Hitler's diatribe-inclined brain, and the fact that he 'wrote' the book by dictating it. I read once that it was often given as a gift in Nazi Germany, but very few Germans tried to read it. One of the very few people who did take the time to read it was Stalin, and he still let himself be fooled in believing he had more time against an invasion by the Nazis.
