8. Book-burning makes me cry! I am a huge fan of the idea that reading is redemptive, that literature has inherent value. Including Twilight. BURNING FTL. I could not even enjoy burning 80s falling-in-love-with-the-rapist romances. The burning of the library at Alexandria is one of those old tragedies that still makes me sad.
That said, Twilight would go into my burning pile with Harry Potter if I was actually dying - it'd be the stuff with lots and lots of other copies about. :)
