Just finished 'Homeward Bound' - a summary of Paul Simon's career - not great writing - I found it heavy going. All the facts and figures are there but it lacks something.

Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf - 1927
straight from the devils fingers
written partly while he was imprisoned
the worlds problems and Germanys defeat
lay at the hands of the Jew
no deaths on him at this point
that was yet to come
but the plan was in the works
for the making of a political party
that would shock the world
a very good read
Grade - A
next up - Lamb In His Bosom by Caroline Miller

indeed
Caroline Miller should be a breeze up against Adolf
he would have had a blast in the age of Facebook and Twitter
constant rants about the ills of society
some well founded but his cures were a little over the top

for sure MH...
Hitler had some of the most gifted, intelligent men(scientists) in his corner back in the day,
its just a shame he took the wrong path in life...

Hitler was full of so much hatred and paranoia. I watched Der Untergang recently and it was terrifying. How one person can have so much hate inside and cause that much pain and death and all for his vision.
I recommend that movie btw. I plan on reading Mein Kampf sometime soon.
