Inb4 someone mentions a certain book by a certain austrian corporal.

Is it bad that I was going to mention that one too? Except I would have referred to him as a failed painter. "Austrian Corporal" indicates that he may have been mildly successful at some point.

It's also not really very good. Worth reading for its historical value, yes. For its artistic value, though? Heck no.

@vettnerk I was thinking about Nelson Mandela's memoirs.

Or, also controversial, some stories of Marquis de Sade
