本をカットするアイデアに賛否両論
Yesterday my colleague called me a 'book murderer' because I cut long books in half to make them more portable. Does anyone else do this? Is it just me? pic.twitter.com/VQUUdJMpwT

I really like this Alex, and am completely ok with it. In fact it undercuts (tish boom) their hubris in writing such a bloody long book in the first place

This seemed like a bad idea until I looked at my bedside table where the Book of Dust has been sitting unread for 2 months because it’s too big to take to work and I don’t want to have to read a different book on the train. https://t.co/LBwP7SpRRd

Destroying books is fine and OK if there's an even slightly decent reason. They're just books. https://t.co/5OC4aFmcF0

Try cutting a bible in half and see the reaction.

If you want someone to gift you an ebook reader, there are better ways to do it. https://t.co/UPwT9bTeoi

Destroying books makes you a horrible person, I don’t care what reason you try to use to justify it! 😡🤬

Yesterday my colleague called me “a book murderer” because I like to keep little a taco in between the pages every few chapters, as a treat. Does anyone else do this? Is it just me? pic.twitter.com/JQjb6R5WD1
