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?

Nobody does this. You are a serial killer. I am reporting you to the global police because we haven’t abolished prisons yet and it’s maybe still okay in very limited cases, such as yours because you are a serial killer.

My dude, invest in a nice e-reader. This is precisely what they're for. Then you won't have to go through life as HISTORY'S WORST MONSTER.

@alex_christofi can’t tell if you really do this or if you just want attention, not sure which would be worse, just buy a kindle

@alex_christofi What to do if your book's too big: an alignment chart

@alex_christofi Now I am torn! As an advocate of individual freedom, you should be free to do as you wish. However, every fibre of my being, is screaming for you to be imprisoned indefinitely and forced to repair books for life 😲🤔😲🤔😲

@alex_christofi @MikeH_PR My head says you can do what you like with your stuff.

My emotional response to this:

@alex_christofi There's something simultaneously brilliant and inhumane about this. I've a feeling you probably belong in olden times when they'd sell novels by the chapter. I'd also be curious to see a bookshelf of yours with lots of butchered books on it.

Pros: Definitely practical
Cons: Looks like you're carrying around the central clue from a film noir about a troubled detective on the trail of a serial killer

Destroying books is fine and OK if there's an even slightly decent reason. They're just books.

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.

@alex_christofi This is a brilliant idea but why cut lengthwise and not horizontally

@alex_christofi 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?

I do the same with really long dvds! https://twitter.com/alex_christofi/status/1219564301029138432

@alex_christofi I remember reading somewhere about someone reading War and Peace while travelling and ripping out the pages as they went along to make the book less bulky.

Greg Jenner @greg_jenner 21 янв 2020

@lottelydia @alex_christofi Lord Chesterfield, in the 18th century, used to read Latin poetry on the toilet then rip out the finished page to use as bog roll

just keatn now (no long name or anything) @ktnfrqhr 21 янв 2020

@alex_christofi why are people so precious about the books they buy? crack the spine, spill stuff on it , dog ear pages who cares as long as you’re reading. swear to god people care more about the satisfaction of others seeing books on their shelf than actually having read them.

Разрезать книги на части, чтобы удобно было брать с собой, это:

Преступление, книги — это святыня

Оригинальный и удобный способ читать длинные книги

Мне всё равно, что люди делают со своими вещами

Думаю иначе и расскажу в комментариях
