What if the book burning is a symbolic political protest against the law forbidding burning books?
On the other side of that: is burning, recycling, composting last year's yellow pages included in the new law? This year's? (mine went from my front porch to the recycling bin ten minutes after it was delivered). Do we make exceptions for non-literary works? What about pulp fiction? Worse, pulp serial fiction? Worser still, Reader's Digest condensed books? Are comic books excluded? What about ebooks? Is deleting an ebook the equivalent to burning it?
