Join A Book Club? Well, Perhaps!

I want to start a book burning club. That would be fucking awesome.

It wouldn't be based on censorship or anything! It would just be a way to express our verdict on the books we read. The act itself would be a symbolic act, representing our voice of criticism, and hence, protected speech.

The setup itself would be a lot like a regular book club, only, maybe a bit more high-stakes. Everybody would agree to read the same book and, at the end, we'd discuss it a bit, and then there would be a vote.

Simple majority rule.

The Ray Bradbury Book of the month club perhaps?
Bring your own fire retardant suits and check them in at the counter.

That dude only even wrote that book because he saw me coming.
