A Good Old Fashoned Bookburning

Number 2 Pencil · 09-10-2008, 12:07 PM

The fun of this is to skirt the slippery slope. I have read many books I have hated or disliked or disagreed with, but note how few I would consider burn-worthy, and I have given it a lot of thought. I am challenging you to consider which books would you burn, if any. If you aren't even the least bit tempted to burn something then you haven't given it enough thought.

Not burning anything is the camp I live in personally in real life. I still have my copy of Sphere, I don't want to donate it to goodwill and leave it to chance that someone might stumble onto it, but I haven't burnt it.

But this is a thought experiment, and the reasoning behind why some of us choose to consider a book burnable is the whole point.
