Anyone else thinks destroying books for any reason is wrong ?

Or is it perhaps not an universal cultural/moral aspect ?

I guess for example in Europe people could be more sensitive to it.

I have purposefully destroyed one book in my life, in order to prevent anyone from reading it:

Man of Two Worlds by Brian Herbert.

...and I did the world a favor.
