I thought I loved books [View all]

I was at our town pool where they had shelves of free books for the public to take and read at their leisure. As usual, I'm always looking for an interesting book to read, when a few titles popped out at me - "Arguing with Idiots", "N is for Noose", "A Nation of Strangers", and "Dark Side of Camelot". I'm not familiar with these books except that the titles struck me as disturbing and, with the exception of Glenn Beck, am not familiar with any of the authors. I did the unthinkable. I took those books and threw them in the garbage without knowing the content of these books. From someone whose love for books, does not even extend towards bending a corner of even a textbook, this was a dastardly act. I just hope I picked the right books out but I couldn't bear to see such titles sitting next to children's books.
