When a book breaks what happens? Do we mourne? Do we trash it?
What exactly is "broken" when talking about books?
Are we talking about the actually physical state of the object know as book? Spine ripped? Pages torn? chunks missing?
Are we talking about the function of the text? misprints, spacing or blotches? wrong words? imperfect printing?
Are we talking about the literary content? failed plot? uninteresting characters? broken narrative?
We must first define how a book can be broken before we attempt to discover what happens to broken books?
what's your thoughts?
