No matter how bad the book is, I would never even consider burning it...

NOOO!!! Never! I could never burn a book! Ever! Even if they did hurt me, they’d be locked up somewhere, but never burned! That’s destroying precious, precious words!
My weekend is all booked!

No, I could never do that! I would give unwanted books to charity. Interesting responses from some people, I also want to know what is considered an evil or harmful book?

I would never consider burning a book. An idea full of bad connotations. In any case what I consider to be a bad book might be of great interest to someone else, so I would give it away.

No, I have never burned a book! To me that is like death to a child (my books are my babies). I will occasional donate books I no longer want to local libraries, Goodwill's , Savers or other charitable donations and every once in a while if my dogs get a hold of one I have to throw it away.

No way!! I think that books are amazing and even if they are not for me, it doesn't mean that someone else can't value them.

No, I've never burned a book, and don't think I would. I do think that some books are not worth passing along, though, and I never really know what to do with them.

no. We do burn newspapers and magazine in our wood buring stove though. but no to burning books. we read them, or give them away. we don't really own any "evil" books, and the books we don't read much get put in a box until someone wants them.

I honestly never burned a book. I would rather sell my book for $1 then burn it.
