What book, if a potential date has rated it 5 stars, would immediately make you swipe left? (alien.top)

I'll go with the low-hanging fruit: Mein Kampf. I've read it, cover to cover. As a piece of propaganda, it's good. As an example of good writing? Absolutely not (though I will admit I have only read it in translation). Oh, and the whole fascist, racist, and generally shitty worldview of the author that he infuses into the text. And the fact that the author is literally Hitler. You 5-star that book? You're a Nazi. Period. And as a Jewish person, I don't look too kindly on them.

As long as my date can read, they are better than most of my exes 🤷🏻‍♀️
