Books are amazing, but i wouldn't agree they are a source of reliable information. Yes some books have reliable information, but just because its a book doesn't mean it can't have misinformation or even disinformation. Books were the original source of conspiracy theories and beyond that they can't be updated with new information.

That being said books are amazing. With a good library and a good librarian you can learn anything.

Didn't downvote but if it was an American school shooting I think it would be funny, it being a Canadian school shooting where they actually do gun control makes it feel distasteful

Not saying I disagree at all, but the index was established in 95, meaning it's missing some of the most corrupt eras in us history.
