Have you ever read a book that was 'banned'?

And did it make the experience much more enjoyable?

@Tamara68 I saw that, is the banning nationwide? What city do you live in?

@samueltyler2 I made a mistake. Mine Kampf is forbidden in the Netherlands, and it used to be forbidden in Belgium and Germany too, but now it no longer is forbidden here. I think that despite that, not many people will want to read it. It is said that it is very poorly written.

@Tamara68 I have read many "banned" books, but admit, i never read that one. I don't read German, so i would be depending upon someone translating it anyway, so not his original words.

@samueltyler2 I don't think you missed anything by not reading it.

@Tamara68 I am not sure. From an educational point of view, maybe I should.

I did read Volker Ullrich's book on Hitler, the rise. It made fascinated by reading. It came out the summer of 2016, and really revealed the parallels to tRump.

@Tamara68 it is a huge book, over 800 pages. My wife called it a door stop.
