WELL, I'M NOT SANE SO I FIGURED THAT PART DIDN'T APPLY TO ME.

Is book burning still bad in this situation? I mean, it would only be that edition of the book.

[sensethevisions]

I agree with this.

[atreideslioness]

Here's the thing; to burn it, legally, you must buy it. But buying it gives these people money and just encourages them to do it again, which is Bad. WOE.

What you CAN do is print out facsimiles of the cover and have symbolic burnings of those! Or, you know, maybe ninjas go in to the public library and incorrectly shelve that edition in a strange, strange place, so no one can ever find it.

This PSA has been brought to you by a librarian who loathes that book to start with, and does not have nearly enough brain bleach to get that link out of her head. The More You Know!

to burn it, legally, you must buy it.

Sure, legally. But this is a case where I think theft is justified.

[atreideslioness]

See, when if I end up in jail, I want it to be for something that was worth it. That book? Soooooooooooo not worth it.

Although it would make a most excellent story for rounds of 'I Never.'

When you plan out the heist, just remember to add "Don't get caught" as the last step. Then just follow the plan to the letter and you'll be fine!

I hate that book. Haaaaaaaaate.

But I'm gonna have to see the 2010 movie since this fine bitch is gonna be Heathcliff.

...I'm now picturing Chuck Bass as this (http://sydlexia.com/imagesandstuff/heathcliff/heathcliff.png).

[atreideslioness]

I hate you so, so much. That requires more than one drink.

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry! It was on my RL LJ flist complete with accompanying RAGE FILLED POST and I had to share because I knew there were English majors, librarians, and literature fans here.

I SHARE THE PAIN.

[atreideslioness]

I thought I was safe to click! I generally don't like classical literature, and I'm not sane!

YOU LIED TO ME.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

But you are #2! You clicked of your own volition! I am not responsible for any injuries you may have suffered! INNOCENT! INNOCENT!

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU ARE NOT INNOCENT. YOU ARE, LIKE, THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF INNOCENT. AS IN EVIL. AND NOT FUN-EVIL, EITHER.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

THEM'S FIGHTING WORDS, MISSY! I AM TOTALLY FUN EVIL! YOU JUST CANNOT CONTROL YOUR MOUSE CLICKING AND WANT TO BLAAAAAAAAAME ME! I AM THE VICTIM HERE!

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

I SEE NO EVIDENCE OF THIS FUN EVIL. I CALL SHENANIGANS.

BESIDES, I'M EASILY ENABLED, AND YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING THAT CLICKIED. WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN?

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

*whimper* Only 2 applies to me, but now I wanna cry. I hate that book, but omg no one deserves that. NO ONE.

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

You totally did not hear any expletives from my lips when I looked at that. Really.

TELL ME IT'S NOT REAL. TELL ME IT'S FAKE. PLZ PLZ PLZ.
