I found the original article and it's from 2013 so before that darn film came out, so I'm not sure if that has led to the books selling again, but still.  |

Can't recycle? How can you not reycle paper? Throw it in the blue bin.

It has something to do with the glue they used to bind them, as I understand it.

Then I would take great pleasure in ripping all the pages out in handfuls...

Hey guys so I saw this thread and was thinking maybe we should help out by coming up with a list of alternate uses for all those 50 paperbacks?
Of course there's the obvious like liners for the kitty litter but surely we can come up with something more creative?
So how about cutting it up and using it as the insides for party poppers/ glitter canons? It could be the gift that kept giving too because anyone that finds phrases like "down there" or "grey" could win a prize....

Books would work just fine! Yes - a papier mache statue of This Fucking Guy, which can be ritually burnt when dry and we can all sing songs and toast mashmallows around the fire.

Guy Fawkes. Yeah, as a Brit myself I almost put "on Bonfire Night" before realising that wouldn't mean anything to a lot of people on here.

My mother-in-law gave me it - her friend had given it to her and she hadn't got past the first few pages. She wasn't impressed. It would make awesome kindling but we've a long wait until next bonfire night. |

Turning them into kitty litter would be particularly satisfying. The way cats back kick the crap out of any area they've just relieved themselves in makes the whole thing all the more amusing. It's like "it's not enough that I've just peed on you, oh no. Now I'm going to cover you by kicking up a shit storm of kitty litter". There's some poetic justice in that.

I would use the pages of this opus as toilet paper, myself.
