Book Burning

[MapleDog]

U.K. women
Personally i do not like these kind of book,porn for the bored women,but when you start to burn books cause you do not like them,you're crossing the line between common sense and total retardness.

Its enough that in the past books were burned for ideological reasons,or religious close mindedness,i would say to any book burner "Would you like it if i burned your precious bible?"

People are stupid and they cannot often see the forest for all the smoke from the book burning fire.

I can't stand that book. So inaccurate and its just poorly written. It looks like someone in middle school wrote it. It gives me some hope though. If something as awful as this can be published anyone can put a book out.

As for the book burning it reminded me of a quote I once saw saying 'those who burn books eventually burn people.'

 

[taxslave]

A sign of intolerance and stupidity.

If I own the book then I can burn it because it is my property and I can invite the writer to watch and he or she should not mind since payment was received for it and since no one can read a burned book then people will have to buy more books and the writer will get paid more so there.

Criticizing someone for reading something that you did not seems a bit preposterous to me, since the only basis on which you could form your opinion would be hearsay.

You know, most people just move on with their lives when somebody doesn't get their jokes.

 

[EagleSmack]

Not you though?

Not you though?

I do. What I don't do is complain how sore my bottom is and insinuate that nobody lets me make jokes.

You do embellish though... that I can see.

A few pages here and there. I was able to tell that they were a total waste of time. I really dont get how anyone can like them at all. Even the women I know dont like them.

ha. I recognized the joke and found it amusing. Still felt the need to set the record straight though. I dont know how anyone could really put in the time and effort to read that whole book.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is Fifty Shades of Grey classified as "women only" literature?

I'm glad you saw the joke WLDB.

I'm not sure there is a classification such as Women Only.

 

[Bar Sinister]

Erotic literate depicting pain has been around for centuries. Remember the Marquis de Sade? I suspect that book burnings serve to popularize the books more than anything else.

 

[CDNBear]

John Norman did it better. In fact, people actually try to live their lives by his writings.

Unofficially there is one called "some Women Only" under which I think this book would fall.

It's occupied predominently by Harlequin Romances, lol.

Neither of which will ever grace my bedside table.
