There's actually a trick to ripping phonebooks in half. I did it when I was a teenager. You grip the book with the open page part facing away from you. Bend the book in a "U" shape away from you & let the pages splay so the top ones are straighter (more taught) than the lower ones. Then start tearing. The more taught pages on the top tear first and they tear in succession to the looser pages on the bottom. Not too hard at all - at least for me then.
