When I was a schoolboy everyone's parents had been affected by The War. Our neighbor was a Nazi death-camp survivor and some schoolmates were of Japanese descent, born in US concentration camps. Since my subject was History I wanted to try to figure out what happened, so I tried to read Mein Kampf by Adolph Hitler. I was unable to finish it. I did get far enough to realize that insanity CAN be learned!
The language of the translation was OK but it was the foulest book I ever saw, so I'm nominating Mein Kampf for worst book.
