It might make sense to read a translation in a language you understand. Many of the books that are considered classics are specifically because they ARE accessible. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are easy, but there is a big d

I seriously doubt you can tell someone's genetics (their race) based on their voice. On the other hand, you can tell a huge amount about the culture in which they were raised.

I assumed that Mein Kampf was commonly read in high school at schools with a strong great books program. Is that not the case in the US?

The issue appeared to be that note cards weren't allowed. Presumably, there would have been no problem if his family copied them onto 8.5 x 11 paper. I don't know why they would ban notecards, but it seems at least possible that t

If it is clear I'm talking to a chat bot, then I have the option. But if you make me jump through hoops to get a human and then give me a bot, I'm going to be pretty annoyed at you.

I guess I'm seeing it more as a will where you state what you want to have happen after you die. So they are saying that what he wrote in 2003, he didn't mean in 2013. I'll agree it is a far cry in wording, but seems similar
