I think something like this was mentioned before but
regarding cd's , maybe it was books i dunno. Anyhow i was
thinking that people could basically swap books. Say i send
you one i read and enjoyed and someone sends me one and
people just generally send some good reading around.

But then such an idea would require us all to live in happy
sappy land and be chummy wummy and whaty notty!

good book or going out in the sun and reaidng.

i ahve two books on the go at the mo. i should get out the
habbit of reading more than one at a time (not
simultaneously obviously). I'm reading Don Quixote and a
cool road book called hokaido highway blues about a guy who
hitchhikes the length of Japan following the cherry blossom.

its a good idea, but i usually have more books than i can
read anyway. amazon marketplace is the best, dog eared
classics with 'happy birthday julian 1987' written in the
front for about 2 quid delivered. im reading portrait of the
artist as a young man at the moment, i gave up the first
time but im going for it again

I lent pOgO my Clive Barker compilation 3 years back and she
still hasn't given it back. :P

On this basis, I will wait and see if the scheme takes off
before I send my books away.

Any classics I just swipe off my old man (has loooooads of
books) or girlfriend. Modern stuff like Bret Easton
Ellis/Palahnuick, I buy.
