    Hypothetically, you are forced to pick only the book that you think is negative for society, for whatever reason.

    Suggest me the book you would burn if you had to, please?

    I’ll start. Kafka, The Caste. Because he never wanted it published.

      The Diary of the Oxygen Thief by Anonymous. He says in the book that he isn’t sure this should ever see the light of day, but even if he didn’t, still a very harmful book. Horrendous prose also

    2. The christian bible. Especially the old testament and the book of revelations, but it would be a better world if it had vanished from the timeline before it was written.

      I’ll creep out on my oh-so controversial limb here and say “no thanks, I’m good” to book burning.

      There’s a series of children’s books by MAGA influencers (no I’m not kidding) that are just filled with bullshit hate. I pulled a bunch of them out of our little free library a while back and stuffed them in a closet in our house. They’re headed for the fire pit here when it’s warm again

      Normal people, ACOTAR(the whole series), Cresent City(the whole series especially HOFAS), The fault in our stars, Haunting Adeline, Hooked

    6. People here are thinking too big. For me it’s my worst read of the year, God of Fury by Rina Kent. Absolutely terrible to read. And it has a 4.5 rating on good reads which is even worse!! Pretty young teenagers are reading this and fawning over the toxic relationship.

      It has the WORST representation of sexual assault I’ve ever had the displeasure to read. I read a book with on page rape between the two main characters that ended up together that made me feel less gross and violated than this book does.

      It’s the authors first gay romance and let’s just say I seriously hope it’s her last. She definitely have never spoken to a queer person in her life she just watched a porno and wrote a book on it.

    7. I don’t know, Kafka was a pretty big diva…he gave his works to someone he knew WOULD publish them.
