Gather Round The Book Fire

James Nimmo passed along Another Story with more details on the big book burning in NM.


800 protesters showed up against the fire, which lasted little over half an hour, focused primarily on the book burning – referencing biblical uses of fire as a tool of cleansing, the \”evil\” influence of witchcraft, and the righteousness of ridding oneself of so-called spiritual hindrances.


J.R.R. Tolkein, \”Star Wars\” material and \”The Complete Works of William Shakespeare\”, Popular fashion magazines such as \”Cosmopolitan\” and \”Young Miss,\” and various adult magazines, were also burned. Even a ouiji board was tossed on the fire.
