![Destroying Books with: Oven – Does Paper Really Burn at 451 Degrees Fahrenheit? [video]](https://calebjross.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Thumbnail-Template-DestroyingBooks-OVEN.jpg)
Once again I purge Facebook for suggestions about how to destroy books. And once again I don’t have a valid reason for wanting to destroy books. It’s who I am. Lay off me!
Today’s request: “Put “Fahrenheit 451″ in an oven set to 452…. Let’s test this….” Can do.
![TBR + TBD: To Be Read + To Be Drunk | June [video]](https://calebjross.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/To-Be-Read-June-2014.jpg)
It’s June. How did I do with my May TBR+TBD? And what do I have planned for June? Watch to find out.

![Books Are Perverted [video]](https://calebjross.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Thumbnail-Books-Are-Perverted.jpg)
When we read books, we think about them. Sometimes at length. We discuss them with friends. We review them online. But what if the books had thoughts about us? I took some time to observe, and what I discovered is shocking.
![What Does Passing a Kidney Stone Feel Like? [video]](https://calebjross.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Thumbnail-passing-a-kidney-stone.jpg)
The title says it all. I’m currently passing a kidney stone (passing as in moving throughout my kidney, not passing as in I am actually peeing it out on camera). To take my mind off of the pain, I decided to record this video. It didn’t work.
![Destroying Books with: a Goat [video]](https://calebjross.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Thumbnail-DestroyingBooks-Goat.jpg)
I’m back with another convoluted way to destroy books. Once again I took to Facebook to ask for some suggestions about how best to destroy a book. This time: A goat. I’m with you, I never thought of a goat as much of a destruction machine, but apparently Amanda Gowin does. Watch as some very finicky goats refuse the delicious meal I offer them.
Book destroyed: Radium Girls by Amanda Gowin. Buy it!
![Destroying Books with: Fire [video]](https://calebjross.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Thumbnail-Template-DestroyingBooks.jpg)
I consulted the TwiBookPlus (Twitter, Facebook, Google+) asking for ways to destroy books. Dakota Taylor eloquently said “fire.” So, that’s what this video does.
This will probably be a series, so look forward to more book destruction in the future.

Some say that a book is a perfectly beautiful object, that aesthetically the sign of a pristine book without dogeared pages, margin scribbles, or creases in the spine is as close to a visual ideal as anything can get. For those of you who say these things, you may want to look away.
