Destroying books is a crime against humanity. Only bad people willingly destroy books.

Well guess I have committed many crimes against humanity because I’ve definitely dumped many cheap paperbacks I bought for holiday reading into the paper recycling container.

Here in Europe there are actually anlot of "book corners" where you can just leave books you no longer need & pick up other books people left there.

They are in variois places - train stations, hospitals or even repurposed telephone booths.

Thats where such books belong IMHO - they can still be read by others like this.
