Book Mooch

What do you think about this site? I’m still just looking around…
You can get rid of books you’ve read and trade them. Sounds good in theory, unless everyone is reading sci-fi except me.

Creativity is continual surprise.
-Ray Bradbury
When we encounter a natural style, we are astonished and delighted; for we expected to see an author, and we find a man.
-Blaise Pascal
Thanks for that link!
My sweetie uses a similar thing (a freecycle yahoo group) and enjoys it a great deal. We are able to get rid of stuff that we don’t want and get a bunch of useful stuff. So, my suspicion is that it is essentially an excellent thing.
(Yeah, I do bet that there are more fluffy things than non-fluffy things and the bother of mailing fluffy things seems more than it might be worth so it won’t be a universal panacea for book problems — still, I bet it is fun).
I have used this site for quite some time now and I love it. Have only good things to say about it….June
I’ve just started using it, but I’m finding a pretty good variety of stuff on it. A children’s book, a recent trade paperback, a couple of classic novels. If you’re not finding what you want, spread the word. The more people on it the greater variety of books you’ll see.
Glad you’ve enjoyed it! I also started using thriftbooks.com, and have had great experiences buying from them.
