Check out this total monster who cuts long books in half to make them more portable
This Is A Crime
The science of virality can often be explained in simple terms: Cats and memes are true rulers. Sometimes, though, it’s something truly awful that captures attention online and spreads for the purpose of shaming its purveyor.
Enter: The Book Murderer.

Yesterday my colleague called me a ‘book murderer’ because I cut long books in half to make them more portable. Does anyone else do this? Is it just me? pic.twitter.com/VQUUdJMpwT

Perhaps it was done for the purpose of creating a viral meme. Still, it’s unforgivable! Get an e-reader, you monster.
Christofi was dragged in his replies, and rightfully so. He appears to be taking it in stride, so there’s that.
Yesterday my colleague called me a ‘vinyl murderer’ because I cut long records in half to make them more portable. Does anyone else do this? Is it just me?

Yesterday my colleague called me “a book murderer” because I like to keep little a taco in between the pages every few chapters, as a treat. Does anyone else do this? Is it just me? pic.twitter.com/JQjb6R5WD1
