The two full bookcases of original zines in their original bindings are fairly adequate evidence that I didn't gut 'em all. (You're local. You're welcome to come inspect the evidence. :))

And in the meantime, I strongly support the local library, Bookcrossing, and have not only donated hundreds of books to The Book Thing charity, but convinced individuals and charities to donate several carloads of books.

I believe you, I believe you! I was really just going for funny--I looked at my icons, realized that a disproportionate number of them featured books, librarians, authors, etc., and suddenly a conversation popped into my mind. Kind of a fourth-wall breaking, bizarre cross between an intervention and one of those "Reading is Fundamental" posters. I thought it would be amusing, but clearly it just came off as offensive and haranguing. I'm sorry.
