      This made me remember 2 mildly interesting stories about me and book disposing. 1. For the most of my life our book closet was filled with mostly soviet propaganda fiction. My dad was an officer of the soviet army, but also that's all that there was to read in soviet union.https://twitter.com/danlistensto/status/990937841550192641 …

      Dad died 3 days before I was born. Soviet union 3 years later. So those books just sit there and no one reads them. My brothers liked fiction. 90-s in Ukraine were bad for single mother with 3 kids. Sometimes we didn't have money to buy food.

      But somehow my brothers manage to buy 1 fantasy or sci-fi book a year. Just one. That's not that bad considering that they also borrowed some and didn't return. so we did have more then a couple.

      Just think about it, about this process that we and many other people in post soviet countries went through- the books that people DID want to read slowly trickled into our lives, pushing out deadweight propaganda. Until one day we just threw the rest away. Bye bye comunism

          glad you like it) have you read the second one? I might have to start a second account for nonfiction so I don't bore people who follow me for my art. even if no one will care it might be interesting to my daughter when she grows up.

          I really enjoy learning about the lives of people whose upbringing and formative years were so different than my own. For me, books were always abundant and cheap and I could get a new one whenever I wanted. A much needed escape from the parts of my world that I didn't like.

          One of the recurring themes that I keep finding as people tell me more stories like this is that our imaginations, and the works of art and literature that comes from them, are not luxuries. Any government that tries to stamp them out has signed its own eventual death warrant.
