A used book store owner in Missouri found his warehouse to be too full -- so many books, not enough customers. So, in the interest of goodwill, offered his books to Goodwill, other thrift shops, and libraries...and was turned down at all corners. Book sales slumping, "five TVs and three books" rummage sales, declining readership, and can't even give them away to a good cause? Burn them -- burn all 20,000. Book lovers (like myself) gasp in horror, but one book-lover makes a good point: "...not reading a book is as good as burning it."
