I don't know what books I've read are controversial because I never talk to anyone. Maybe it's because the books are too controversial.

I have not read this juvenile racist power fantasy. The most controversial book I have read is the Koran.

It defines my way of life and I am memorizing it from cover to cover in its original language.

Probably Lolita.
I've also read Harry Potter, which I think may have a 'larger' controversy but only because it is more well known.
I like Kipling a lot too and he as an author is now very controversial while also probably the most acclaimed of the three.

I just find Nazism, fascism, and religious extremism to be incredibly interesting. I'm not a Nazi, a fascist, or a religious extremist.

Is Lolita even controversial anymore. Middle school book bans in the florida panhandle don't count.

Mein Kampf isn't really controversial. I had to read a few chapters of it for a class in college.

I don't think TD qualifies since 99% of the normie world thinks its racist trash. Infinite Jest seems controversial in that half of readers think it is genius and the other half either want to cancel DFW for being a white male or think it was stupid.

Lolita becomes more controversial every year because of women who read tons of smut and then judge Lolita based on the wikipediasynopsis.

The Holy Bible. The Thirty Years War killed 2.8 times as much of the German population as both World Wars combined. The Huguenot War in France killed 14 times as many as the devastating First World War. The First Crusade killed an astounding 66-80% of the belligerents on the winning side (by contrast, most soldiers on the Eastern Front survived the war) and depopulated the affected regions.

The Koran is a close second.

Lots of normies in hurrr. Programmed to Kill is a classic. The Anarchists Cookbook was widely circulated but overrated. Some old medical textbooks have pretty detailed instructions about poisons and real pictures of dead people in various states of malady. The Lesser Key of Solomon and Legemeton are pretty edgy and barely off the beaten path. The Naked Lunch is one of my favorites and anyone who doesnt find it controversial is jaded beyond comprehension.

Respectable ladies read their novels. It isn't smut. I mean, it totally is. That's why they need to properly raise a fuss over indecency. Your average furry is less kinky than your Aunt and cousin choosing a book to read.

The "Turner Diaries" is a poorly written novel from the 1970s that is notable only because it provoked a wave of domestic terrorism in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s.

The publication of "The Turner Diaries" set in motion a chain of events that lead to the formation of The Order, caused Rudy Ridge and the Waco siege and then provoked Timothy McVeigh to commit the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Consequently, this book is notable and will be obviously be of interest to future historians who want to understand the causes of these events.

In the year 2025, the overwhelming majority of the people who post this book online are libertarian-type people who despite censorship.
