    No. There are things to be learned from all books, good or bad. Knowledge is increasing our understanding of both truth and ignorance, and sometimes we can't even agree which is which. Look at the some of the titles that have been banned:

    That being said, if it was cold outside and I needed to make a fire, and all that I had was a copy of Geri Halliwell's autobiography, I'd burn it (without too much worry that any secrets of the universe were lost in the process).
