Shut upppp, people. The books are fine. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

I'm all for the classics, but christomighty, people, you're living in a park and getting kicked out every other night. Use an iPad, Kindle, Nook, Nintendo GameBoy…whatever. Anyone that has moved into/out of a house or apartment KNOWS that moving tons of books sucks ass.

Thanks for the update, it's a relief that the books weren't discarded as initially reported.

That's it MrFugate keep being a good lil Naz…. I mean American, make fun of the protesters and don't question authority, even after the destruction of the class you are apart of

Call me crazy but the books were not destroyed because of content, they were thrown out because they were left behind as trash. What are the police supposed to do? But making this into some kind of content issue is moronic. I am sure they threw out copies of the Da Vinci Code and issues of FHM (or the like) as well. Why are not all the books listed? Either show all or none but selectively picking what books were disposed of is nothing short of propaganda.

You know who else liked to destroy books…

I'm surprised the NYPD didn't burn them.

Look closely at the “Art & Culture” box. On the right, there is the guitar tabs for Creed's “My Own Prison” album. Really? Art & culture?

Yeah, where is the classic button when we need it?

OH MY! Where will we ever find books to replace these?! If only publishers would print multiple copies of the books they publish!

Anthony Bourdain?

ebooks make me sad :(

ebooks are all the rage now

There's some serious irony in the fact that Fahrenheit 451 is on this list.

I believe Julia was a member of the Junior Anti-Sex League.

When people can't critically read, democracy dies.

It's okay. We still have Wikipedia.

Goddamn it, I didn't mean to hit the heart. Incidentally, check out that hedera on the fly of Dubliners. It's totally decorative and not being used as punctuation. :) (Don't kill me, Jack.)
