"The Fairfax County Library is disposing of a lot of classic books, like To Kill a Mockingbird. They're not getting checked out often enough, so they're making room for the books the public likes."

Out with the old, in with the new. If you'll forgive me fro royally mixing both media and metaphor, let's just tear down the Sistine Chapel so we can put up a monument to the Da Vinci Code.

Feh.

That is so sad... so the next generation won't get a chance to read the classics, unless the schools force them too in class...

oh dear... a reflection of the current push button for instant gratification and the need to be fasionable and trendy!
