Being proud of not owning books

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Or being confident about disliking reading in general, whether be it fiction or scientific literature.

Hey, if you're not proud of not owning a copy of mein kempf that's on you buddy.

It's "Kampf" ... I have tried to read a few pages... It's unreadable drivel.

Fun fact: The book wasn't available in Germany for decades, because upon Hitler's suicide the copyright fell to the State of Bavaria. That recently expired and now you can find some heavily annotated versions.

I prefer Mein Bamf, Nightcrawler's treatise on teleportation.
