The only sure way to have your books not smell like smoke is to not smoke around your books. I give the above advice, 1 - 5, two thumbs down, and if you try them may God(s) have mercy on your soul.

5. Wash the books.
What. The. Ever-loving. Fuck?
Wash the books?
Do you hate books? Have you even seen a book? Have you ever seen what water does to paper? Wash the fucking books, indeed. Jesus Fuck!

4. Use absorbing agents to pull the smell from the books.
This sounds a lot like putting your phone in a ziplock bag of rice, but for books. I think this belongs up there with ventilating the books.

3. Replace an unpleasant odour with another one.
Books smell like smoke? Make them smell like shit! This is just terrible advice. Setting the books on fire seems like a good idea compared to this.

2. Heat the books.
Unless you're actually setting fire to the books and casting their ashes to the four winds, I'm not sure how this method is supposed to work. It's a stupid idea, perhaps only endorsed by Captain Beatty and his firemen.

1. Ventilate the books.
This is bullshit. Sure, you can faff around fanning your books outside but you'll probably be dead and buried before the books stop smelling.
Maybe if you ventilate with a gun it'll solve the problem of wanting to read the books?

I'm jonesing for some hardcopies of some of your books, JB! Jonesing!

If I was a cynical bastard, I'd say because a lot of heads of state/government want to see how much Trump can get away with, and how far he will go before they try the same bullshit in their own countries.

No one bats an eyelid if a straight guy only dates blondes, or women that are 5'3", but if someone of a different sexual orientation dares to have preferences it's head exploding time. People are weird as fuck.

My group was so bad that I told them instead of gaming from 1 to 5 and have them turn up at 2 (one of the guys had to work and the last part of a session became a frenzied rush) I said we'd start at noon and go until 4. They all turned up at 1; but we finished before 5 without the rapid wind-up.

I have a friend that likes to say that this was the worst movie and it just went downhill from there...

I'm not sure if it's a legal obligation or not over here, but menus (even some of the fast food ones) often list gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan with numbers or logical letters.

Get a beagle. My beagle was the official prewash checker. Not a plate could go into the dishwasher before he had inspected it. In the end it was simpler to just put plates on the kitchen floor and the next person that came through would just put them in the dishwasher.
