Recycle them
Recycle them
I actually burned my Neil Gaiman books, because I didn’t want anyone to read the work of a violent rapist.
I remember reading a baby care book (one of the famous ones) that I completely disagreed with and throwing it away afterwards, not wanting to perpetuate the ‘everyone should do this’ message. (I knew that I was completely disagreed before I read it really!)
It's just paper. It'll come back in the next life as a new book that people *do* want to read!
I think I was just so furious at Gaiman that I had to make a gesture, even if I was the only one who knew about it. They did light a good warm fire in my stove for me, so there’s that
But working out which are the ones that people still do want to read…
Weeding is not one of my librarian strengths :) But look, I have put together this whole pile of books for recycling!
Me and my bin bags are very proud of you!
And I’ve been adding more to the pile as I go through the ‘reasonable condition’ books that are a bit dogeared, and accept that anyone who isn’t a fan would bin them.
