I Heartily Disagree

Why You Should Throw Books Out, by Tyler Cowen
So you have to ask yourself -- this book -- is it better on average than what an attracted reader might otherwise spend time with? No I'm not encouraging "censorship" of any particular point of view, but even within any particular point of view most books simply aren't that good. These books are traps for the unwary. A lot of books don't make the cut of "above average to those readers they will attract" and of course since you've spent some time with the volume you ought to be in a position to know.

I donate my books to the Nova House book sale every year. They raise a lot of money for abused women and children and it's an easy way for me to help.
