I just finished the absolute worst class that I have ever experienced in my college career thus far. Normally I keep all my books for reference, but for my own sanity I think I need to see this book exploded / incinerated / ripped to shreds in some way. What method of destruction would you reccomend that is dramatic... yet... legal.

Know the course...I spent many happy hours destroying my psychoanalysis texts for much the same reason (I think, the teacher would probably have had views about my subconscious motivation...grind teeth, get tense). I made a stew out of some of my lecture notes and used the rest as lining for my cat's litter box (not soft enough to use as toilet paper). One book I put through five cycles in my washing machine before it finally gave up and dissolved, one I shredded whilst screaming profanities (that was the first one, I had a lot of tension to release), and the third, I baked for an hour on the self-cleaning cycle of my oven (messy and have a fire extinguisher on hand—barbecuing it would probably have been better with hindsight).

You can tear it up page by hated page. You can probably burn it in a fireplace, or, depending on your locale, an incinerator. Whatever you do with it, make it a ceremony. You may want music and a procession. You can say a few choice words before, during and after the destruction. You could also just toss it, but it doesn't have nearly the emotional value.

I hear you! I did that too after reading a book that I absolutely did not want to for a college English class once.
I made small bonfire, took the book and ripped the pages out one by one and fed them to the bonfire, then i broke the spine and cover of the book into pieces and fed those into the bonfire as well. Finally, I gathered up the ashes after the bonfire went out, drove down to the ocean, set sail in my sailboat and tossed the ashes over the waves of the Atlatic Ocean and bid it good riddance forever.

Absolutely, a cookout with a few others from your class so you can drink and talk about how bad the class was as you fix some food over the ashes of "the book"!

I would go to the fireworks store and buy quarter/half stick, crackerbomb, etc. Place inside the book with the wick exposed, tape around the book and let the hell break loose! I've also found hurling them into the school's pond to be very helpful as well. Go with the firework, its pretty cool

BURN IT!!!!!!!!! There is something about a burning book that really sets people off, I have burned more than a few textbooks in my day!
If you decide to sell it I would reccoment a site called textbook411.com , they pay cash for book buy-backs and are also a great place to buy your texts! BUT- I still reccomend Burning It!!!

I don't know about what you should do, but be careful if you decide to burn it. Some textbook covers and/or pages are made out of material that can be toxic when burned.

Lol! Very funny situation. How about trying to burn it then running it over with you car or something? Make an animal eat it.
