Okay this is just something that popped into my head. I read a lot and I have piles of books here. I don't know anyone here in town that I can swap with, like I did when I lived down south. I really don' tknow what shipping and stuff would be like but if anyone is interested this could work, maybe.
I was thinking about joining the book club but I had 3 books ahead of P&P I wanted to read.
Here is a short list of mine, these are the most recent, I may add more.
Flowers for Algernon. A good quick read.
Faulkner: As I lay dying, A light in august. - a little wordy for my taste but pretty good I am still trying to get through The Sound and The Fury-very slow start.
Secret life of Bees.
Sick Puppy and Skinny Dip
grapes of wrath Good a bit slow at first, better at the end. Love steinbeck. East of eden was the best book I have read in a long time. I think my freind may have that one, i will look.
The reader.
bridget jones part 1 and 2
the yaya sisterhood and little altars everywhere. great books.
I think it's a good idea but logistically it could get difficult to keep up with - like Halleybird said - I am a member at frugalreader.com & it has worked out great - I pulled the books i had up there because i have more than i can read right now.
