It was a slog, definitely. The Manifesto has the virtue of being short. Mein Kampf was a 700 page wall of text, and it reads like the transcription of a speech, a transition Hitler doesn't make well at all. And yeah, it was bizarre. He'd be talking about the price of bread and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, JEWS SUCK!!! It was like literary Tourette's. I can't believe I read that, but now I can say I did. :D

I tried to read MK as a young teen and just couldn't crack it. Hrm, I also checked it out from the library so I'm sure my name is floating around on a FBI watch list somewhere.

Now I think I'd rather read a comprehensive bio of Hitler then something he wrote himself, considering.

Speaking from experience, yeah you'd be better off reading a bio. Unless you want to read Mein Kampf just for the book worm points.
