Yes, I dislike it because I hate damaging books. Legally, it's okay, though. And yet you make notes in your copies. Is this not a variant of damaging them? It took twenty-one years for me to accept that textbooks are valid for notetaking considering they are aimed specifically for study. That being said, I cried (on the inside) whenever I marked up one of those books. Except Whitman. Fuck Whitman. |

Aside from that, maybe it will take you another 20 years to accept book burning? I think that I can turn you to the dark side if I host a book burning where you can destroy a copy of Whitman and Moby Dick. |

AND CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER HIS OVERUSE OF THE WORD "I"?! |

Maybe Walt should go ghost post in the thread about words you overuse. |

If you're into burning books, then by all means knock yourself out. However, I prefer selling them off. At least that way I have money to buy new ones  |

I'd only burn the Twilight novels. There are other books I really don't like, but I'd rather give those ones away to people who actually enjoy them or might.

(Loosely) relatedly: Only recently, glancing at the novel, I realized that Montag is named after a paper manufacturing company. And Faber, of course, is a maker of pencils! What a sly thing my subconscious was, to name them thus. And not tell me! — Ray Bradbury (about the names of two characters in his novel Fahrenheit 451 that stop the burning of books) |
