While I was searching for just the appropriate picture for my ping, I came across the most fascinating and repellent website.
Consider http://www.vaidilute.com. It's really slick, and extremely well-written to boot. It purports to be the work of a preternaturally intelligent (and comely) teenager named Gabriella. She's well-read, she's eloquent, she's accomplished...and oh, yes, a Nazi. I don't mean a Bush supporter or a Buchananite paleocon; I mean a Jew-hating, America-hating, white-power spouting...Oregonian.
The relevance to this thread is that she has a really nice page about preserving and disseminating books, to save them for future generations. The emphasis is on preventing a Fahrenheit-451-style future. It's inspiring stuff...until you catch the hints about how the Nazis got a bad rap over book-burning, and how the Diary of Anne Frank was fiction, anyway.

What makes me hate this town most are various mental retards, hippies, and the rest of the assorted degenerates here that make Eugene so repulsive and utterly detestable.
No, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel!
Whoa.
I'll have to check that out when I get home. Not clicking that at work!
Just what I need more books to order. LOL
The condescending sneer on her face makes her look like a hippie-crossed-with-Goth.
And she enjoys Tolkein and C.S. Lewis while despising Christianity.
Wonder if she'd like Charles Williams?
