The Justification of Book Burning
18 Replies
Ever since I was a child I have loved reading. I can honestly say that they have made my life better, made me wiser, and given me an escape when I needed it. In this way, I see book burning as evil…Continue

Kim replied to Lizabet-B's discussion What So-Called Classics are Actually Worth Reading?"Twilight is my favorite classic.
OHURHURHUR, I giggled at my own joke. :3
One of my favorite classic is The Odyssey. I love Greek mythology, and I found it fascinating that a story over 2000 years old can still be so intriguing and…"
Kim replied to Sarah Norman's discussion What are you reading right now?"I'm reading Wheel of Time series, on book 10. D: I really do love the series, they're just so long...
I just finished Paper Towns, which was amazing. :3"
Chip, A Former Ningmaster replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"While I am morally against book burning, I have a hard time getting properly angry about it because it's not practical. With the invention of computers and the internet, everything you could possibly want is online, somewhere. That's what…"
Alexis Rivard replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"Mein Kampf, despite having a lot of antisemitic material, had many good ideas in it about economy and various other related subjects. Considering the current economic crisis, it should not be burnt."
Alexis Rivard replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"Although I agree that Twilight is really an awful series, I feel that perhaps the editor and publisher should be burnt (dark humor ftw?). Okay seriously, book burning is a form of propaganda and as a lover of the truth, I'd say propaganda is a…"
Andy M replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"I wouldn't bother reading Great Expectations if I were you. I had to read it this past summer for school, and after the first 10 pages I swore to never touch another Dickens book unless I absolutely had to."
Paulsifer replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"Yeah. In my opinion it's one of those things where her friend was doing something bad, but is too immature to realize just what a bad thing that action stands for."
Adrianne G replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"I don't think burning books is a good decision in any case. It wastes money and perfectly good paper, not to mention it's just ethically wrong and would, I assume, hurt the author's feelings (if he/she/it were still alive). I feel as…"
Steven Olson replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"Maybe Mein Kampf? If we're looking for books that deserve burning... I think that is an "evil" book if almost any are evil...

Rebecca Ritter replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"I kind of agree most with you. When a book is burned in order to convey a message- that the writer is evil, the story is immoral, etc., it's kind of sickening. It makes most people think of the Holocaust or another situation where books were…"
Hunter replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"Who was it that said they didn't care if their books were burned, they got many out of them anyway. Was that JK Rowling, or someone else?"
Chip, A Former Ningmaster replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"Rather than adding to the interesting conversation at hand, I'm going to say just one thing...
I HATE GREAT EXPECTATIONS ARGHARGHARGH!!!!!"
Effie replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"Honestly, no there isn't a single book in this universe that would ever deserve to be burned but then I am 100% against book burning ever since my mom burned all of my Harry Potter novels. :[ Though you did bring up my only exception, if I was…"
Paulsifer replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"There is a certain amount of shock value when it comes to burning books, because we think of past book burnings as being afraid of the unknown, or trying to silence a revolutionary with real ideals.
In my opinion, what your friend did…"
Kelly replied to Kim's discussion The Justification of Book Burning"I could never burn a book... Even if a book sucks... It still deserves to exist...
