Books
We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

I was assuming at least some of the comments were satirising message-board misogyny...
So, nobody on Bt3a has ever admitted, in a QOTW, to damaging someone else's (or public) property?
And the one that gets people worked up is a 7-8 year old girl in the 1970s?
I haven't taken my pen to a library book in 30 years, except to correct typos and factual errors, but I think what I did as a small child, and my motivations for doing it are quite funny in retrospect, hence sharing the story.
Be interested to know if the responses above are the ones you would give to your daughters if you found out they'd done something similar to some of the pink princess crap they get fed these days.

If I gave my daughter a library book
and she chose to deface it in protest, I would discuss the issues with her, then make her replace the book. It's the library's book, not yours.
Personally, I blame your parents.

That sounds like a reasonable response. Hoepfully you wouldn't address your daughter as "you little shit" though.
