A Crying Shame

We saw this pile of books tossed out with the trash in a neighborhood in Gainesville. There is no excuse for this. It is isn't that much trouble to put them into a bag or box and take them to a donation center. And if it is, Goodwill or some other charity will come to your house to haul these books away for you. The only time I ever saw anything like this in Europe was in a photograph of Nazis burning books. Can you imagine a Czech doing such a thing with a book? I can't.
