You know, you were probably meant to take King Lear back to school, right?

Right?

Fine, not my $8!

Uh, why?

Although it was a waste of money when you could have resold them.

I'm for all except burining King Lear. I never read it, but destroying books is wrong.

We had a ritual buring of Alter Ego. We all stood around the fire and read it one last time
(because we figured the ghost of Gwen Harwood would come after us if we didn't) and then cast it into the flames. :D
We also had a fwd making the rounds, a photo of said poet, with the instrutions to print it out asnd desecrate it as best we could.
We didn't burn actual books though, cos the school wouldn't sign us out if we didn't return them all!!!

Yeh I had a 2m by 1.5m by 0.5m box or so filled with papers notes etc. no space to burn it at my place though, so I had to throw em out, I kept about 10 pieces of paper, my subject notes, synthesised to 1 page per unit of work.
