I feel like burning a book would be the equivalent of torturing a small animal such as a mouse.
Though I have to admit that my friends and I often speak wistfully about the end of school and talk about having a symbolic math notebook burning to relieve all our pain. Because, of course, math notebooks are records of torture and there is no reason to keep them.

Though I believe in freedom to read, there's a different in my mind between what happens in a library and my personal collection. In the book burning case, I remember having a few books that I felt were not worth passing on to someone else because they had the high potential of hurting someone else, like it did me.
Bottom line, if there is a book in my possession (most likely one given to me) that has the potential of creating harm to another, it gets trashed.
I'm curious as to what type of books they were?

I've never burned a book in my life. Perhaps if we have a decline in society maybe a few boring ones might be burned however I love all of my books too much to burn them.
