Burning books can get carried away. Farenheit 451, anyone?

Yes, I know he meant the one copy, not ALL of them, but still.
Oh, yeah. I'd burn that one for sure. Hated that book.



no, i liked it actually. its a lot better than 1984, plot-wise at least.

i'd have to pick the harry potter series. and the twilight series. and the entire genre of mindlessly cliche boring coming-of-age 'young adult' novels that obviously assume young adults have the IQ and maturity of a vegetative kindergarten student. You know the ones I'm talking about. that genre with its own shelf on the very very edge of the colourful zany kids section of barnes and noble (/borders/books-a-million/every other bookstore ever) where every book is the same length, as part of a four-to-five-book series, where the plot is more basic and formulaic than a tom clancy novel.
those.
