Mein Kampf (My Struggle) is the only complete work written by Adolf Hitler. The book was written by Hitler when he was imprisoned after a failed coup and it showed Hitler's development of his racist and political ideology along with his future plans for Germany. The main thesis of Hitler was a theory that Jews were planning to take over the world. He also stated that the two evils of the world were Communism and Judaism. His ideas became increasingly antisemitic and militaristic throughout the book. The book is regarded as the "bible" by the Nazis. Originally the book did not sell well and it was not popular. However, when Hitler gained power, Mein Kampf was used everywhere and even given as wedding gifts.  There were many horrifying ideas that Hitler presented in Mein Kampf, with specific ideas such as terrorist methods to gain political power and general ideas such as antisemitism. With statements such as, “the sacred mission of the German people…to assemble and preserv...

Almost everyone is familiar with the U.S. Navy's Top Gun program, thanks to the movie of the same name released over 30 years ago.

     Violets Bent Backwards Over the Grass is a book full of unreleased songs and poetry written by the one and only, Lana Del Rey. In this collection of poetry she writes about her simple day to day interactions with people and just random things she wants to talk about. Although this doesn't seem like the most interesting book to read it does show a very enlightening perspective on where she gets her music inspiration from. There are various images in the book that show a little more about what the poems are about and what they mean to her, which I feel, adds a special touch and is what makes the poems unique. My favorite poem of hers happens to be one of the first poems in the book titled "Violets Bent Backwards over the grass."  My favorite line of this poem is "I decided to do nothing about everything forever" which is accompanied with an image of a dandelion in a patch of grass. Real.      When I found out she had written a book, I was very...
