Ancient Ways Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm guessing the subjects weren't reading Mein Kampf. Tried reading that as a teen just for the hell of it and it's pretty incoherent. Freaked my mom out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did find out what happened to the author, but based on his ramblings in that book, I'd guess he was consigned to the dustbin of history.

Spindrift82 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 ^ That made me laugh out loud. And my ancestors are German. I probably would never read that book. iTunes is giving it away for free on their eBooks store. Umm...no thanks, wouldn't even get it for free!
