Have you ever thrown a book in the bin?

[HopSpringsEternal]

I did yesterday for I think the 3rd time in my life.
The first was that book by Gina Ford when DS1 was about 2 weeks old. It was all the rage at the time but DS definitely didn't want to follow the rules. In fact it was DH that threw it out and I was definitely a lot more.content.
The second was when I got out my old Doctor Dolittle books to read the kids and I realised they were littered with the N word. In a sort patronising racist way "the nice n man". Didn't want that word seen or normalised by any other kids so in the recycling it went.
The last was yesterday. Lying in bed realised their was a Neil Gaiman book on my book shelf. Didn't not want a book of that vile bastard staring at me so into the bin he went.
Foot all other books if I don't want them anymore.I just take them to the charity shop. But I didn't want to inflict the above three on anybody else.
Has anyone else?

I was sent this disgusting piece of shit by a distant friend (who seemed to assume all women loved it) and it went from parcel to bin immediately.

Also binned Nadine Dorries drivel which had been passed on to me by a well meaning aunt.

Benjamin Wood, it turns out, might fit right in on this thread ;)

Late to the party but I threw away Sepulchre by James Herbert - it contained descriptions of such disgusting cruelty that I felt dirty for having read it.
