but rather prefer to donate them to the local libraries. Just that these titles seemed to promote an alt-right thinking that I didn't want anyone to read them. I prefer that people can read both viewpoints and have a better understanding of world views; it just seems to me that doesn't work, (even for myself as I am comforted here at DU), that I didn't feel it good to promote any propaganda materials so I threw them out.
