Wikipedia has interesting list of books that have been burned. I am sure it is not complete or canonical but it is quite long.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning Another interesting fact: Martin Luther actually wrote a preface to a Latin translation of the Koran (although some say it tended to overstate some of the distasteful passages-that is probably a matter of interpretation). He certainly disagreed with it; I wonder if he would have burned it (especially with his preface in it)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur'an_translations#Latin If Koran-burning is so popular a pastime among American Christians and churches, it is a wonder that it has escaped the media attention of this latest effort which never actually came to fruition.

Isn't that exactly what Martin Luther was complaining about 500 years ago? I guess that's why we have Catholics and Lutherans today. Luther probably didn't envisioned Terry Jones as the outcome of his injunction that everyone should read the Bible for themselves. (On the other hand, Luther probably would have been perfectly happy to burn copies of the Koran). Interestingly, Calvin's response to Michael Sevitus interpreting the Bible for himself was to execute him. And Calvin probably had a much great influence on American protestantism than Luther.
