"Mein Kampf", a computer-animated musical adaptation. Just kidding.

A local book I belive not a single one of you heard of, called "O Homem que Matou Getúlio Vargas" wrote by Jô Soares, about a extremely bad lucked and clumsy anarchist from the eastern europe, which was born with one extra finger in his hands, and was trainned in a secret assassin school during the late 1800s early 1900s. He gets involved in every single violent moment in history but in a funny way, like almost starting WW1 (he missed the shot that Gavrillo Princip did in Franz Ferdinand), being part of the Chicago mafia in the 30s, and eventually heading to Brazil, where he tries several times to kill our then-president Getúlio Vargas, which was a distant relative of him. It's like what "Forrest Gump" would be if wrote as a comedy by Chuck Palahniuk. The author (Jô Soares) recievd several proposals of turning his book into a movie, to which he declined.
