    Lots of people are migrating to e-books, but none of them want to loan you their e-book reader like they would a book. Just one more step people are taking towards total introversion.

    Besides buying books and borrowing from the public library, you may be able to get books for free at your local recycle center. Of course, I wish more people were still actually buying books, because I am one of those who got laid off due to the slump in the publishing industry. As for me, I would like to have an e-book reader for its occasional advantages (and especially for the huge advantage of carrying large amounts of reading and reference material in a small package), but I would still read physical books for their advantages. (A small paperback book at the beach is something you don’t have to worry about getting sand on and if you lose it, it’s a small loss.)

    As a general rule, I disapprove of burning books.I will make exceptions for truly poorly written books, such as a certain “Elementary Differential Equations” textbook written by the instructor.

    Everyone who managed to pass the course that year did so by buying the previous year’s textbook in an attempt to understand the material.

    We held a mass book burning of that useless text after the final.

    That was Fahrenheit 451, a work of fiction, not Adolf.
