In something out of Fahrenheit 451, a Kansas City used bookstore own has started his “funeral pyre for thought in America today“. Not so sure this is really the way to go, isn’t this like cutting off the nose despite the face?
I think he is missing the wonder that is the internet. It does not say where h has tried to donate them, but I am sure there are some Katrina damaged areas that could use them.
Until then, a perfect XTC song for the occasion.

Anyway, shades on Nazism etc. In a way I like the way he turned book burning into a way of motivating people to read. Gotta say I am not worried about the Tom Clancy books either, wish i’d burned the one I read before I started it. Time I’ll wish i had back at the end.
