Book Swap: Begins Now!

Love to read books but hate to buy them (at full price or otherwise)? How about a book swap? Details to be worked out later but I imagine it would work like this:

People bring in a set number of books (say, 5) then we can put them all on a table and take turns "drafting" a book. It should be a quick and easy way to exchange books with fellow readers. Don't worry, it won't be like middle school. The uncoordinated and frail-looking books won't feel bad about being picked last.

Of course, a trip to the library would also be sufficient, but there's nothing like browsing through other people's (dirty) books is there? Don't be afraid to reveal that one night stand you had with such-and-such a novel; nobody will judge you!

We could have mini-book conversations and recommendations right on the spot. They say a book loses 30% of its value as soon as you crack the binding -- or was that cars? Let's find out shall we?

I'm in the Fremont area and would like to host a (monthly) event somewhere close to here. Bring your friends, bring your family, but more importantly, bring your books. Thanks all!

Email me, or leave a comment below with contact info, and if there's enough interest, off we go!
