It was garbage day yesterday and plenty of houses were throwing out their Christmas trees. Made me think of what other people consider trash. And I mean beyond the whole "other man's treasure" idea. I found this one instance from George Orwell.
"Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever." - George Orwell Confessions of a Book Reviewer (1946)
What was in your garbage this week?
