I've always considered the internet (in its current form) to be histories biggest book burning event. Hoarding rss feeds I often reached a point around 35 000 subs where the number of new ones I find is roughly equal to the deleted websites. I'm sort of stuck in a mental loop thinking of book burning.

If you've not been to Bebelplatz in Berlin to see Micha Ullman's sunken library installation[0], do try and get there.
It's one of the most upsetting art installations I've ever seen, but it absolutely should be on everyone's list.
