I see nothing wrong with burning these books. Most contemporary books are unreadable and poorly written, mirroring the decline in the English language over the past half century. Of course, the article does not state how old these books are, but my guess is they were mostly “modern” books.
In the New Testament in the Book of Acts, they burned books. These must have been occult books and full of slutty junk.
Prospero's sounds like the Strand Bookstore in NYC. They buy and sell used books but probably have more of overstocks. What they can't sell must eventually get trashed so burning them instead is nothing but a symbolic statement. Right, wrong or otherwise, Tom Wayne wants to make a statement.
