Howz about a book swap? If you'd like to participate, here's the deal: I will take all the names of people who are interested and jumble 'em up in a round robin. Each forum member will be given the name of another participant. You are to send that member a book of your choosing. Add a note about why you chose it. Presumably your recipient will read the book and you all can chat about it. Maybe it will lead to other book exchanges. Similarly, your name will be given to another member who will be doing the same: passing on a book they enjoyed. Think you're up for it? A few things to keep in mind: * Please have a book (or books) in mind you'd like to pass on to another member. Make it a book you liked, maybe a book you wish more people would read. * Please be willing to read a book that some other member feels that way about! Embrace the thrill of reading in a genre you don't normally read, or reading an author you haven't heard of. * Have enough spare change socked away to afford media mail postage for mailing your book. Please send me a private message with your Member Name, real name and address, and some remarks about your book preferences and interests. These are to help your matchee in case they've got several books in mind to choose from. In extreme cases, I will use them to make "corrections" in the round-robin matchups, but generally I'm not going to worry about making sure people with exact tastes get matched. Ya get what ya get, that's the fun of it. Also let me know if it would be hard to send a book overseas or up north. We do have some “Canajuns” and “Overseaers”. If you need to keep the mailing costs down, I'll do my best to you get someone on your continent! Whattaya think? Peace.
