Wait, you are obviously a reader if you’re reading this!
I am an avid reader. I read a lot. Seriously. And I hate to pay for books, hate for them to go to waste when I’m finished with them, etc. Yes, I sell the good ones on Amazon, and I send some to family members too.
Here is an option that I have found, and LOVE.
- BookMooch. The basic premise of this site is the honor system. You list books that you have and are willing to give away. When someone “mooches” this book from you, you send it to them in the mail, at your cost. When you find a book that you want, you mooch it from someone else, and they send it to you. There is also a feedback system on this site to keep everyone happy and informed.
You should all check it out. Go through your bookshelves, your garage, your bedside tables. Buy some padded enveloped at Costco, and start sharing your books. It’s a good thing!

Lisa, I am selfish. Even if I never read them again, I want to keep virtually all my books.
Does that make me a bad person?
