A Goodreads user asked this question about My Struggle, Book 1:
I find it shocking that more people haven't commented on the title. I have searched through articles, and while they mention the obvious connection to Hitler, none of them ask about it in detail. WHY would he call it that, and what point is he trying to make? I can't bring myself to read the book, brilliant though it may be, because the title is too horrifying for me to move past.
Marcus Hitler's book can be read by anyone. You won't go to hell if you do. It's probably essential reading if you want to understand what motivated him.

Not wanting to read Knausgård's book because the title is similar to Hitler's is just plain silly. I mean, why even read books then, if they might contain dangerous ideas?(less)
