    Has anyone read this author's My Struggle books? I'd never heard of them before - they aren't my normal jam, not enough robots or spaceships. They sound inaccessible, but they also sound interesting.

      Deciding to write a 6 volume autobiography and then name it after Hitler's manifesto is...a thing you can do, I guess. I don't care about some random guy's life enough to slog through mutiple books of how he feels about his grandma/ex-wife/uncle/whatever to find out if he really has a point to make vis à vis Hitler/Brevik/Whatever headfuck makes you think it's okay to murder innocent strangers en masse. My kneejerk reaction is there's narcissism in there one way or another, and I'd need considerably more info to convince me giving it a second's more attention would be worth my time.
