Book lovers, calm down. When “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo” hit Netflix Jan. 1, America embraced her little folded T-shirt rectangles and shoeboxes reused to organize small items. But when it came to tossing out books — well, those were fighting words.
Do Not listen to Marie Kondo or Konmari in relation to books. Fill your apartment & world with them. I don’t give a shite if you throw out your knickers and Tupperware but the woman is very misguided about Books. Every human needs a v extensive library not clean, boring shelves

Others were more levelheaded, noting that the KonMari Method was not tantamount to book burning.
What Marie Kondo Says: Think about getting rid of books you aren't going to read or reread.
What Twitter Hears: Let's burn all books and slay the writers! Let the streets run red with their blood as our literary pyre's smoke blocks out the sun!
