Mein Kampf really should have been a big warning to the world....It's a shame that no sod took it seriously.

I am surprised that A Clockwork Orange wasn't at least given an honourable mention though. What about the Satanic Bible?
Harmful books? Altogether now "books don't harm people -people harm people" ...and books aren't even much use as a weapon -they tend to open midflight then lose all momentum.

Twatty site. I see one of the evil books helped nuture the "Clinton Generation" and that John Maynard Keynes is responsible for the 8 trillion dollar debt. I thought that was due to that numbskullnobrainsugbugwarmongeringsonofabitchBush.
lol
I nominate

SMP Mathematics syllabus A
all books of matches (how many housefires....?)
my check book
Betty Friedan is one of them . . .

Not exactly a shocker when 14 of the 15 "judges" are men, and the one woman is Phyllis Schlafly (probably the most famous anti-feminist woman of the last 50 years)!

Who on earth has the gall to put John Dewey and John Stuart Mill on the same list as Hilter, Engles and Mao!

You can read about it, but I don't know much about justify. Much of the killing is in the Old Testament which is no longer valid. Reading the Old Testament and applying it today is like shooting Germans in a WWII video game and going out on the streets of Berlin to replicate it today.

Additionally, its the interpretations(and the differences thereof) that cause trouble. Same for the Koran.

Misinterpretation is a major problem with any religious work. It seems the Koran is taken out of context by religious extremists just as much as the Bible is.
I read "Mein Kampf" a while back - probably due a re-read at some point in the near future.

I've actually met people (let's call them 'apologists') who claim that when you read an original, in German, that the meanings of Hitler's words can be interpreted in other ways. This sounds a lot like Bible interpretations but you don't usually see Bible studiers described as apologists.

Sometimes it might be an apt term I suppose.
Blimey, I have several of these books on our shelves. ( OO I'm evil) and amongst the ones that almost made it onto the list, Simone de Beauvoir, how come that got in there.?!! -?
