    Has anyone actually *literally* thrown a book they disliked across a room?

        I may be telling on my modest circumstances a bit here; I live in a small apartment, and I can't think of a clear trajectory I could throw a book in without consequences.

        Well, based on my mentions, a lot of people, it seems! It's still so hard for me to picture. I've definitely gotten mad at books, no doubt, but the most I've done is throw them onto the sofa next to my thigh.

        My whole adult life I’ve taken “then I threw the book across the room” to be a symbolic statement meaning “I strongly disliked it” but clearly I was wrong.

        I remember I saw a Neil Pollack reading where Pollack poured whiskey on a copy of EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED while singing “I wipe my ass upon your novel” but that was a literally performative situation. I’m always by myself when I read books; there’d be no one to see me throw it.

        Interesting to note: anecdotally, from my mentions, the most common cause of book-throwing is "anger at the book being bad." But close on its heels is "dismay at misfortunes befalling sympathetic characters."

        The answers are coming in too fast for me to track properly, but I think the most intense reactions so far have been books being vomited on and stabbed.

        On the other extent, I think I pledged fealty to NK Jemsin's The Inheritance Trilogy. I legit hugged it when I was done.

        I once sneezed while I had a horrible bloody nose, and it got all over the Agatha Christie murder mystery I was reading. Pages were splattered. So very dramatic! (Worst part: book did not belong to me)

        Maybe the most surprising repeat mention: THE AWAKENING by Kate Chopin. Wouldn’t have pegged that one for a thrower.

        Sirius Black dying seems to have inspired more throws than Dumbledore dying.

        I'd say when all is said and done, the second kind of throwing (dismay at character suffering) might've outnumbered the first kind (innate book suckage). Runners up would be: boring textbook, and book used as weapon.https://twitter.com/macwrites/status/1035947322885251072 …
