3. Anything Ann Coulter has ever written.
Trees were destroyed in the making of these dreadful, hateful books. Turning them into pulp wouldn't repay the insult to Mother Nature, but it's the next best thing.

6. Anything by Ayn Rand.
Specifically, "Atlas Shrugged."

12. Actually Rand would have despised Dubya.
The most conspicuous bad guy in Atlas Shrugged is the CEO of the railroad, a glad-handing poseur who got the job only because he was the number one son of the founding family, who spends most of his time trading favors with other corrupt plutocrats and functionaries. Sound like anyone we know? Also Rand despised religion, especially when used as a tool to power.

Although she may well have sucked it up and become a good Bushbot. She was on record as stating that Ronald Reagan would make a great president, based on his performance as governor of California (and, earlier, as corporate shill and red baiter).

My answer to the original question is: the Left Behind series.

16. Still. She was an extremist nut-job with no redeeming factors.

15. Da Vinci Code.
The pulp could then be used to form paper logs with which you could burn all the copies of 'Digital Fortress'. x(

17. books by Danielle Steele and others on the bestseller list
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 04:35 PM by tigereye
Sorry, that's how I feel.

As for Dan Simmons, books by Ian Pears on the same topic as DaVinci Code are SOOO much better.


lookin for trouble, eh, Byron

21. That one by Dr. Laura: Women and the stupid things they do
or something like that...

God she's such a hypocritical bitch!

I also borrowed a book on marriage from my fundie co-worker. I want to burn it. I don't work with her anymore and haven't heard from her to get the book back. Hmm, I feel like burning it. It's basically the woman needs to care for the man drivel.

Blech.
