THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT If you guys want to save money on shipping just go to the PO counter and tell them you want to ship it "media mail". I shipped one for about $13 and then my wife was kind enough to point out my stupidity. Next book went out for $4.00  Thanks again for all who participate, I have read quite a few REALLY good books and have shipped out a few as well. Pass 'em on!  It doesn't have to be permanent. I send you one and you send me one. Read and release? If you're interested put something up and I will do the same. I will pay to ship my books to you if you do the same. If you want your book returned, then you get it back. If you want the person to offer it up to someone else, they pay it forward. Of course we would need to be respectful to each other and each others books. If you damage a book, fess up to the owner and deal with it properly. Mods: If this is cool with you, a nod of approval would be appreciated. No books will be posted until they approve I guess. Approved Thanks Tango7 and Striker

sounds like a dandy idea to me. a pass around would be cool. maybe everyone post a list of what they have and what they are looking for, if applicable.
perhaps have one central person track a database of where everything is? |

I have three books up for the moment (I have to dig some more of them out)
The Sniper At War This is more of an illustrated history of snipers during wars and not a novel. Interesting reading if you like these types of books. Escape and Evasion A basic survival type book. It was included with a book club order and has some ok stuff in it. Illustrated. No True Glory This is a frontline account of the battle for Fallujah. It was a very interesting read. I enjoyed it. I will add more as I go through my wifes books. She has way more than I do so mine get buried. |

A good idea. I'm in. Only problem is that there is no way I could list all of the books I have. I've got three 6 foot tall book shelves in the living room and boxes more in the closet and attic.
I'm a book junkie.  It would be easier for someone to ask about a specific title than it would be to list them all. |

Hey I'll take Ender's game!
I have Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy and Farnham's Freehold by Robert Heinlein to exchange... if you don't like those, I can dig out some of my books from their cardbord box home. I'm still in college so I don't really unpack over the summer... |

BertTheTurtle never responded to emails or IM's so Ender's Game is still available!
I just finished reading Unintended Consequences by John Ross. This book was sent to me by Eagle7222. This book was IMPOSSIBLE to put down. I am going to buy a copy because I enjoyed it so much. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone. If you want it, just say so. Next up on my readin list is Atlas Shrugged and as soon as I finish it, it too will be up for exchange. |
