Ulysses Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The French national library has removed a number of poisonous books produced in Britain from its shelves. Literally poisonous. http://www.rte.ie/news/newslens/2024/0425/1445731-french-poisonous-library-books/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRiver Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Interesting project. Hadn't heard of it before. Always makes me wonder what we use today than in 200 years will end up on the naughty step too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big central open fire in the middle with a few green leather chesterfield wingbacks scattered around it and a drinks-globe stacked with single malts.

Did you go to the Barbara Hepworth exhibition last year? Part of it was a recreation of her library. That kind of thing (though much smaller!)

Jamstomorrow Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 If reading a book considered 'poisonous,' do you need to wear rubber gloves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
