Oh scary mum, burning books is never a good precedent but I can see why you couldn't resist.

As long as this burning ritual was carried out privately, dread to think what wild thoughts ran through your unsuspecting neighbour’s head, when upon drawing the curtains for the night they looked onto the garden to find you chanting around a fire, burning books and laughing hysterically, add your user name into the equation and I think an explanation may be long overdue - sorry my vivid imagination is running wild again
