Wrong assumption. I find people who just read fine poetry boring and uninteresting. So, its bad to read Mein Kampf, on leaders who came to power masterminding other's downfall, etc.? History is history. It has good and bad things as with anything in this world. One has to grow up reading diverse topics and eventually form his/her own moral values / ethics in life. Cheers!
