Do a Google search on “prospero kansas city book burning” and read about our local book burning. The first page contains links to NBC, Fox News, Amazon, and a bunch of blogs. I’m all with Tom on this one. As he says, “not reading a book is as good as burning it.”
I went down to Prospero’s today and picked up 10 books for 10 bucks. There was a lot of crap in the pile and I’m not sorry to see a lot of it go. I definitely do not think that just because a book was written makes it worthy of reading. But I’m not going to be the Book Nazi. If you want to read crap, go ahead and buy that crap and read it.
If a book is just going to sit on a shelf in a storage room or warehouse collecting dust and becoming worm food, then you might as well burn it. At least you can toast some marshmallows and sing a few campfire songs while you’re doing it.
Hey, anyone know where we can get a book of old campfire songs???
