If you live under your parents' roof, you must respect their rules, religion, and property.  It WASN'T their property.  It was another's!  You had no right to burn the book.  I think you now owe at the least, the monetary cost to replace their friend's book.  You've placed your parents in a situation where they appear untrustworthy.  You also lied to them!  Are not destruction of other's property, lying, and ruining another's reputation sins?  Especially when the latter two are against your parents?  That is yet another sin!  Please go to Confession and follow whatever directions the priest gives you in so far as making restitution.  It is good that you hate heresy and whatever promotes it, but your actions were rash.
Are you an adult?  If your parents' religious belief or practice is intolerable to you, then you need to remove yourself from their home.  If a minor, talk to your priest about how to deal with future incidents.  There are sure to be more upcoming.

If a friend loaned you a good traditional book and your father found it so offensive he burned it, how would that be?  One could argue he had the right as the head of his household to do as he pleases with items brought therein.

If YOU owned the books, burning them would have been a good deed.  I once found a half-dozen anti-Catholic books in a thrift store.  The author was an ex-priest turned apostate Fundamentalist Baptist minister.  Although they were overpriced, I purchased them and had myself a little bonfire  in a corner of the chapel parking lot before First Friday Mass.  I must honestly say I was very tempted to STEAL them, and could have done so without getting caught. I also thought of hiding them in various unlikely to be found places in the store.   Father said it would have been sinful to steal them, and probably useless to have hidden them,  but since I'd made the sacrifice of paying for garbage, it was virtuous to burn them so that they'd never cause the loss of another soul.

But now i think, if i give them the money back, they will sin a lot more and it will be worse for them.

I know that i shouldn't have done that in the first place, but now that i did it, how can i give them the money back to buy such a bad book? And who knows how many more people it will affect?

Wouldn't it be better to give the amount the book costs to charity or a poor person or something like that?

I didn't lie to them, i just told them i don't have it anymore and that i got rid of it. I just didn't tell them how exactly i got rid of it.

They should have told their "friends" that that is a really bad book and that they should convert, but my parents are apostates themselves so of course that won't happen.

In reality they shouldn't even have such "friends" to begin with.

I am 24 but i can't leave the house yet. I wish i could because i can't stand them.

If they were to burn one of my books, then i think that would be really bad, because it is a good book, as opposed to theirs, an apostate one.

I read that in Argentina, when Bergoglio was "Cardinal" or something there, some novus ordos or traditionals strormed the "art" shop of a blasphemous anti-Catholic person and they wrecked it, but Bergoglio reprimanded them and said that they should never have done such a thing.

I empathize with your plight, boloki. I don't know wether it was right or wrong, so I will not attempt to counsel, but it reminds me of a story.

3 years ago, back when I was Protestant, I gave my sister a Protestant bible. I had been/still am trying to convert her. Every time I go to her house I see that bible I gave her sitting on her night stand. And every time I see it, I want to take it back and destroy it. But I don't steal it because it does not belong to me. My conscience (wether it be right or wrong!) prohibits me from doing so. The best thing I knew to do was admit my ignorance in giving her that bible, and gave her a Catholic one instead. But she doesn't read the Catholic one.

Off topic- That's an interesting name you have, Boloki. What does it mean?

The children run at the idols, upset them, dash them down, break them to pieces, spit on them, trample on them, kick them about, and in short heap on them every possible outrage.'

St. Francis Xavier
