I've seen phrases like that: These books are too heavy. And I think it's all right. But, I saw that: These books are too heavy to carry them. And I don't think it's all rigth. Could you correct the second one?

Hi daltomaciel

The word 'them' should be omitted (unless 'them' refers to something that the books should carry -- which seems unlikely):

- These books are too heavy to carry.
