Anyone else thinks destroying books for any reason is wrong ?

Or is it perhaps not an universal cultural/moral aspect ?

I guess for example in Europe people could be more sensitive to it.

If they aren't one of a kind and they digitally preserved them in some way i think i would be ok with it.

Saying that though there are tools for digitizing books that don't require destroying them

There's nothing sacred about books. There are plenty of books that won't be missed if destroyed.

I have purposefully destroyed one book in my life, in order to prevent anyone from reading it:

Man of Two Worlds by Brian Herbert.

...and I did the world a favor.

Just looked this up and now I might read it, ostensibly because of the fact that you destroyed it.

I'm sorry to do that to you, and may God have mercy on your soul.
