I am currently working through my first pass of Stalin's The Principles of Leninism

I have really enjoyed the book but have found it to be a kind of a harder read. I did just buy the cheapest version I could on the Kindle Store and I wondering if the translation is a little rough or if other people had this issue?

Stalin tends to write very bluntly. Also minor criticism for putting your money in a capitalists pocket for free communist literature.

Still good on you for actually doing some reading. If nothing else I'd give you a net neutral rating.

I mean yeah I understand that but it was only 59 cents and it gets to read it on my Kindle which I purchased way before I knew anything about this.

You can load ebooks onto your Kindle using Calibre, you don't have to get them from the Kindle store.
