Reply to comment by OneLongjumping4022 in Are there any books that you actually would want to see figuratively or literally burned? by [deleted]
I held onto an awful book for years because I couldn't bring myself to burn it but it was so bad I didn't want anyone else to pick it up and mistakenly think it was going to be an OK read. Eventually I threw it in the rubbish.
There're been a few I considered writing on the front page 'this book was one of the most boeing/annoying/shallow... things I've ever read hut I can't bring myself to throw it out, so here it is, still existing. I suggest you don't read it.'

In hotel rooms, these books could replace the Gideon bible, which doesn't have the manners to come with that warning.

Ah, but I don't mind the Bible, at all.

That's nice. I read Pratchett and Heinlein to review my ethical guidelines.
Wonder which of us read and consider our touchstone literature more often.

Personally, daily. But this is not a competition, nor a combat. You do what works for you, which is what I do.
