I love destroying the books I read. I buy ancient paperbacks used and choose not to care about their well-being, storing them in my pocket until the wheels fall off. When I read Dracula my book had no front or back cover and I kept the last 15 or so pages tucked in loose in the middle of the book because they would fall off every time I cracked it open.

I shred the binding side with a saw, so I can scan the book with my Fujitsu scanner. Easy way to digitalize a entire book.

They do this for you in Korea. A lot of long novels are released chopped up into ~200 page chunks.

This is the book version of ed gein

I’ve done this for coloring books before, but only to make the sheets more accessible. I have never once complained about the transportation issues of a book. Git gud scrub

I shred my books to save time reading

Just get a freaking backpack.

Oh shit, I left the half with the end notes at home!

I don’t even like it when they destroy books to scan them by cutting off their spines. I prefer when they use scanning methods that preserve the books as well as possible. This feels just straight up evil.

Insanity. Also doesn’t work with IJ unless you ignore the end notes.

Just read books on your phone, or a tablet. You can carry an entire library with you.

In all honesty, in no way sarcastically, I consider this a war crime.

I cut mine cross-wise to save space. There is a lot of authors who make no sense.

“yeah, I just finished Infinite. It was pretty good, abrupt ending though. I hear Jest picks up right where it left off.”
