It seems to be the tv that causes me the problem its too loud and distracting, I like to be able to concentrate.

I always read in silence in my bedroom and recently I was at a friends and tried to read with the tv on and I found it impossible, does anyone else feel the same???

Well this isn't what I really was asking but I've ordered it and hopefully see how actually hard it is read for myself. In regards too the war, from what I have read his book doesn't really go in with the war I don't think he mentions his intentions of invading Poland but just living space in the East and it was not his book that got the Germans to follow him not many actually even read it but rather his magnificent ways of speaking to the masses of people just watch a speech and you can easily say for yourself if you was a German then you would have been on his side it was like hypnotizing the youth he did really intelligent man regardless of his views but you need to actually know too and this is from a Polish person that a lot of what we are told is actually just rumours and lies for example his so-called wanting to exterminate Jews is nonsense he never he wanted to expulsion them from Europe the Jewish Question was not even Hitler's invention and he had several plans of doing this such as the Haavara Agreement and the Madagascar Plan and his so-called hatred of Slavs is complete nonsense too as Slavs were regarded as Aryans and many Slavs fought on Hitler's side against the Bolsheviks a lot of books are just victor stories. Same as he never wanted war with Britain. I don't want to come across as saying I'm defending Hitler or his policies but it is not as black and white as people like to try and make out like from first hand accounts he was a very relaxed man who just devoted his whole life to the state and his long-time girlfriend/wife Eva and his dog Blondi not this mad man Jew-killer that the media like to portray him as.

I've heard that some of the German-English translations are very poor and make it out to be worse than what it is (long words you cannot understand, long sentences that don't really make any sense) and so on. I'm Polish and have always wanted to read this book and there is a German-Polish translation of the book and was thinking of buying it. I have looked around on the internet and some of his quotes and ideas are actually good for example believing that jobs should go to people that are best suited at them and not just anyone and that everyone should be healthy and fit and he says boxing is what men should learn to be able to defend themselves and I do agree in his view about people with genetic illnesses be better to adopt a child than make a child suffer from it. Good reads, Amazon and a few other sites have some very interesting reviews on it - from Germans themselves in both Austria and Germany.

I wanted to get this book [admin edit: link removed] and it has 1030 pages that is all and it looks a really good book. Just wondering if it would be more difficult or whether I should push myself to read more than what I do anyways otherwise a book that size you will be there all day. How long would 1030 pages take the average reader?

I've heard different opinions on this from reviews and ratings on several websites. Has anyone here actually read it from cover to cover word to word not just looked it over? If so what do you think about it? I'm interested in this period of history and I am thinking about reading Mein Kampf, Second Book and Table Talks, has anyone read any and if so what does it tell you? I've heard people say that Hitler was a speaker not a writer but when you read it you see a genius words.

I normally only used to read ones with 200-300 pages but I have seen a good book I want and its a little over 1000, does anybody else read really long books and do you find it anymore difficult than a smaller book?
