Reading put the fun in fundamental, but failure to return library books can put people in jail.

A Texas man had the book thrown at him by Copperas Cove police recently after failing to return an overdue library book, reports Fox News.

Jory C. Enck checked out a GED study guide in 2010 and never returned it, police said. He was arrested for “overdue library materials” and released on a $200 bond.

to replace the book as well as any fees that are due.

11. He should have shot a librarian in the face after dark. I hear they won't arrest you for that.

This country is absolutely insane!
