    Maybe she was part of a group of environmentally friendly Nazis. Since burning books would put more CO2 in the atmosphere, they go to book shreddings instead of book burnings.

        Maybe the book had big words .

            Personally, I would have offered her a pole to ride out on and some tar and feathers, but that's just me...

              How do you even fit a book in in the first place.
              Actually, it's not hard to conceptualize. Remember, books are bendable. Thus, if you try and shove one in, it'll bend to the point where some of it will be sticking past the rest, either because pages buckle, or through angular geometry. Thus, some of the pages go in, but way more than the 5 page limit. Additionally, since the pages are bound, the shredder now has to try and pull the rest through.

                I had to post a sign over our shredder:

                Do Not Put Your Sandwiches In This Shredder*

                *Not even to see what happens.

                ...yes. Yes, I do work at a college. And this shredder isn't even accessible to most students.

                  Poor little book. It did nothing wrong to her.

                      Another thing you shouldn't try to shred is plastic envelopes that some companies use to send mail order stuff. Kind of like the wrappings on magazines you get in the mail, but thicker. (Found that out the hard way)

                        You know they make book shredders...

                        they're called Wood Chippers


                        Of course, they'll pretty much shred anything.
                        Just ask Steve Buscemi...

                        Where I work now, the boss' son blew up the office shredder by stuffing too many old receipts through at one time... Even after the boss told him to do only a few at a time. His excuse was he wanted to get it done faster because it was boring.

                              Who'd be stupid enought to try to shred a book?
                              Well, if it was any part of the Twilight "saga" I could totally understand the desire to shred it, at least
