Book Microwave
What would happen if I microwaved a book?
would it catch on fire?
No, it wouldn't.
Microwaves create heat by actually exciting moisture molecules present in food, which is why you may (or may not) have noticed that it does a better job of heating a cup of water than a slice of stale bread.
Even if the book was wet, the water would boil and evaporate at 212F, and wouldn't come close to 451F (the temperature at which book paper burns). It would singe and leave burn marks on the paper, but it wouldn't catch fire.
