Anyone a member of BookCrossing.com? I joined out of boredom one day..and because it looked mildly interesting. Oddly enough, I don't really like to read.

If anyone is a member and wants to trade books or something let me know. :)

SheepMan22 on May 03 '07 at 7:38pm

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 8:07pm

I was serious...seriously!

SheepMan22 on May 03 '07 at 8:30pm

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 10:03pm

I might not be able to trade very many, though. I don't have heaps these days.

:)

SheepMan22 on May 03 '07 at 10:12pm

ok sounds good

radiostaticstar on May 03 '07 at 10:15pm

i'm a member,
but i don't have anything to trade.
where i live, nothing much good gets passed...

SheepMan22 on May 03 '07 at 10:15pm

well im not a member but im still willin to trade books

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 10:20pm

radio---Want a book sent to you?

I'm willing to pop one in the mail if you're willing to go to the site and say you received it.

Nothing good gets passed around my area either....kinda sucks because I know exactly where they are, but they're not worth going after.

radiostaticstar on May 03 '07 at 10:25pm

sure, why not,
i can drop you an email later when i'm home with my address and such...
lots of little kids books are all the action i've seen around here,
nothing worth going looking for...

bhoomika on May 03 '07 at 10:26pm

funny.. I just posted a blog about it a while back tonight.
I think the purpose of the site is to find like books in your city... and go look for it.

Or leave a book somewhere for others to pick up ...
I m not part of it but I do check it out.

Malcolm Man on May 03 '07 at 10:28pm

Sheepman...you own your own book store?! At 22? You are truly an outstanding person

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 10:31pm

I think you're right bhoomika. Technically I think you're sposed to leave them for people to find, but I think a lot of people mail them to others anyways. Besides, people in my town don't read....they just exist with the cows.

bhoomika on May 03 '07 at 10:40pm

haha im sorry to hear that. :-)

Ya I do think that people exchange books through mail.. cause I read on someone's profile page where they were talking about it on the site.

Well I really don't have books to exchange since I don't read much and any or all the books that I have .. I like to keep :-)
Good luck though!

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 11:11pm

Thanks! I know what you mean...my books are kind of pared down right now. I have my "keep" shelf with some books I can't part with. And then I have my shelf of books that I have listed on half.com. I'm just cheap like that. Being a college student I haven't had a lot of time to read novels anyways.

elwood78 on May 03 '07 at 11:15pm

amish, I bookmarked the site. I haven't had much free time to read, either... but it looks interesting. It is kind of like lala. why buy new when you can trade?

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 11:22pm

Yeah, I know what you mean elwood. Being a student has made me cheap...I go to Barnes and Noble and a) can't find much that I want to read and b) get ticked off because a simple paperback costs so much now.

Besides, I tend to read what other people recommend to me.

bhoomika on May 03 '07 at 11:24pm

I think its pretty interesting to actually look around for a book... but I had no luck.. but I had fun just driving up to a spot and look for the book ( I guess someone got it before I got there) but it looked like scavenger hunt or something.. hehehe

And as a design student, I buy like tons of graphic design book... and I m a really picky reader.. I might get books if someone recommends it.
So recommend away...if u would like to :-)

elwood78 on May 03 '07 at 11:26pm

you can't go to a chain store to find a good book - you have to go to local book dealers. When I was in England I picked up some really good poetry books from a small book shop in London.

bhoomika on May 03 '07 at 11:27pm

As being a poor student.. I use amazon or ebay to buy books.

Elwood.. u r from london? cool!

elwood78 on May 03 '07 at 11:29pm

no, lol. I'm American. I just spent some time there for a class.

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 11:29pm

That's where I usually get my books, too. Little shops in Europe or a little tumbled down type shop near my house (the guy who owns it is English, so that's probably why it's so good).

If there's a new book out that's a bestseller list type I usually just get it from the library because I know I'll never read it again.

elwood78 on May 03 '07 at 11:33pm

amish - are you from Europe or do you just visit there often?

I take out a lot of movies from my library. On occasion I'll take out a book or buy one they're selling. I plan on utilizing it more soon.

bhoomika on May 03 '07 at 11:34pm

I suggest you make cards with Barnes & Noble and always google Barnes & Noble coupon (cause I always print out these 15% off coupon) with the card discount -- the price comes out to be reasonable.

Also get a free card Borders card for discount...

it kinda helps.. .

and ohh okay Elewood.. Thats pretty cool though! I wish I had done some international student thing!!! I wanna have like a 'under the tuscan sun' thing... just move to a new country! It would be cool!

elwood78 on May 03 '07 at 11:37pm

bhoom - I definetely recommend travelling before you get too tied down with a career or a family. I was only in English for a few weeks, but had I the money, I would gladly go back.

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 11:47pm

I'm English, but I live in America now. I've lived in France and the UK, though.

Thanks for the info on the barnes & noble coupons. I ended up getting a free discount club card when I bought my books for the semester. Maybe I'll go there and buy a discounted moleskine journal or something.

J-Ray on May 03 '07 at 11:47pm

I'm a member.. but I thought the idea was to release them into the wild, not to mail them to people. Am I mistaken?

amishpowerandlight on May 03 '07 at 11:51pm

J-Ray, yeah that's the point, but people do it both ways. I go to school in the middle of nowhere so there isn't much action as far as people reading or wanting to pick up a book. So, I just decided to see if anyone wanted to trade (or just receive a book).

J-Ray on May 03 '07 at 11:53pm

Hmm I guess either way works. I just hope people would register the books I've left out, rather than... who knows what!

bhoomika on May 04 '07 at 1:11am

right elwood...
before I go abroad.. I really wanna take a road trip too!
Atlanta to San Fransisco or Atlanta to Boston!

At least I have been to India several times!
I m gonna take a European trip Italy-Paris-England.
Would be cool!
