Do you agree that burning any book is a horrible thing to do?

I also think that it's incredibly disrespectful to an author to burn their work, not that the burners care about something like that! Well, at least they probably spent money on their work beforehand. Illogical? Yes. I think book burners have too much time on their hands that they ought to fill by doing something that actually is productive - a hobby, or a job, at least.

no i would actually enjoy it if i really didnt like a book i would burn it oh i just got an idea i am gonna go buy the hobbit then burn yes gotta call my friends they will want 2 help well atleast the rational 1s will

OMG yes! The burning of a book represents the burning of knoweledge, imagination and of all things good. Even a book (in my opinion) as bad as Twilight (sorry twi-hards) shud neva be burned, as it symbolises bad things.

OMG YES i think any1 burning books is horrible its lik burning som1 work .....i think it would be wat better just to sell the book or somthing dont u

i totally agree i love reading evrytime i read im transported to another world so yer u shouldnt burn books im like a different person its great to read

Completely agree, for all the reasons you said. Authors (even if they ARE bad) put so much time and effort into writing and it's sad that people could burn others work like that...

yes i totally agree with u because a) a book is so precious it cant be burned b) it is precious because all the wonders each page holds c) why would u do that to the earth? d) i would just cry if i saw a book burning no matter how bad the book is.

I hate when people do ANYTHING bad to a book. I love books and I know that the author and publishers put a lot of hard work into making the book. If i saw someone burn a book I would be SUPER mad. I know books are inanimate but they should be treated well.

well i really don't know because my sister did for breaking dawn i bought breaking dawn and that it was going to be good but it was complete garbage and i was so mad that i wasted my money on it my sis. said she would give me ten dollars if she could burn it so we burnt it and it was fun we threw it around and i guess its a way to get ur stress out plus i was never gonna finsh the book because it pisted me off so badly

Yes, I agree 100%. It just seems so cruel! I mean, if you want to get rid of a book, just sell it, or give it to someone! Every book should be respected. And anyone who would burn a book might as well burn a human.

What if it was racist Nazi propaganda?

What if I am freezing and that's all I have to burn?

yeah, but i've never heard of people in today's society doing that, so it doesn't really matter

E or C

i agree no matter how stupid the book is it should not be burnt

It makes me shiver.

i agree that burning books is a horibble thing to do.

i agree with you because books are amazing and people should not do anything to them. if you really dont like a book than give it to somebody else, that simple:)

I think of books as worlds that have finally escaped the writers minds, only to me captured inbetween the bindings of a book. So, by burning these books, you are destroying that world's only chance of finally being free, free to roam the reader's mind. You'll never know what the character's were hiding inside their in-most thoughts, or where that story would have taken you, if you had been brave enough to venture through the whole thing. You could be missing out on the most epic, awesome, heart-changing story by burning that book.
If I hate a book, I give it to someone else who might enjoy the full story more than I ever could. So that no matter what, that story has been heard.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE 'NECRONOMICON'? I SAY BURN IT ,SCATTER THE ASHES , THEN SALT THE EARTH WHERE IT LAID .
