Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

“I will always be on the side of the libraries”: A Conversation with Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading. And he credits librarians for fostering his curiosity about books and learning at a young age. Gaiman spoke with I Love Libraries recently about libraries, comic books, book banning in the U.S., movies, and more.

@SKleefeld The word “probably” is interesting there. I want to hear about the exceptional cases where book burners are the good guys. Does that even exist?
@waterluvian Survival situation? Your plane crashes on top of a mountain while you're delivering books to a remote area, so you either burn them or freeze to death? That's about the only instance I can think of.
@SKleefeld Ah yes, true. But I’d say that’s quite different than being a book burner. Except in the eyes of a semantic pedantic, of course.
