I have around fifty books in my apartment, and probably twice that much stashed in my parents attic. I used to be attached to my book collection, but lately it has seemed more like a shame for those books to sit around collecting dust on my bookshelf.  Some of them have a lot to offer to future readers, all of them have something.

Last year, Daniel lent me a couple of Bill Bryson books. When I returned them to him, he told me that his intention was to give them away, and he asked me to do the same when I finished them. I thought that was an awesome idea. Until then, my book collection had been something special to me, but I VERY rarely re-read a book. I’d actually say I never read a book after finishing it – but sometimes it takes me a few reads to finish.

Daniel’s point of view made total sense to me. So if you’re looking for a book, and I have it, you are welcome to it. I would only ask that you pass it on to someone else when you finish it. Here’s some I’ve got with me now.

    Good tactic. I’d like to take possession of In Defense of Food.

    Damn… I was going to as for In Defense of Food… If Luke finishes reading it by next week, I’ll take it from him.

    I’ve got Water for Elephants to trade.

    I will do my part after taking ‘Breakfast of Champions’ and ‘Brave New World.’ However, if you give away a lot of your books, it will be that much harder to open up ‘Lee’s Books and Shit, Mang.”
