This book changed my life
The Goat writes, "Some books have made a huge impact on my life." It's true. It wasn't until the b3ta mods read the Flashman novels that we changed from mild-mannered computer operators into heavily-whiskered copulators, poltroons and all round bastards in a well-known cavalry regiment.
What books have changed the way you think, the way you live, or just gave you a rollicking good time?
Friendly hint: A bit of background rather than just a bunch of book titles would make your stories more readable

I very much like this post.
I've never read this book myself, but my brother (who has) describes it as a rant. It's like it's been written exactly as he dictated, which would explain the fact that it jumps from topic to topic.
I will probably try to get my hands on a copy now though, so i can see what I'm dealing with.
Still, in regards to your quote of "Surely not, thought I. Surely the German people were just.. mis-informed? Misled? Perhaps there was some vote-rigging? Surely, no mass population would ever vote in a leader on the promise of genocide?" - I agree, and follow up with this
