  • Disposing of bigoted books you own?

    This may be a controversial discussion topic, but next week I'm embarking on a major inventory (and declutter) of all my physically owned books and I have a slight quandary so would love to get other peoples opinions.

    Normally, if there's a book I own but don't feel the need to keep I donate it to charity or drop it into a little free library. It's easy enough to do and gives others a chance to discover books they may not have otherwise known about OR been able to afford. But I also own some books that I don't feel right sharing in any way, including LFLs, because they promote bigotry. In particular, I'm thinking about the Racist Wizard Books by The Infamous Terf. I received all the books as gifts when I was a kid and am sick of having them in my house, but I also don't want to further their reach by adding more into circulation. To be clear: this isn't about censorship (if you want to read them that's your choice) but about not wanting to personally put them into someone else's hands.

    So the question: How do you get rid of books you own, but ethically hate and don't want to help circulate?

    This is a timely novel. This is a timeless novel. This is a necessary novel.

    Humourous and heartfelt, this is a book I will undoubtedly revisit again and again. Alix E. Harrow has cemented herself as a "buy the book, ask questions later" author.
