Would it be possible to start a book swap area on the org and would there be any interest in it?

I think it is a good idea.... lotsa people read lotsa books and there is no swap shop that I am aware of.....good idea for me, so I voted yes:)

What type of books do you like?

I read autobiographies mainly so would be happy to swap like for like. Not keen on biographies as they feel kind of fake if that makes sense.

Anyone tried Book Crossing (http://www.bookcrossing.com/)?

I don't have loads.......but I don't tend to reread, so I'd be happy to swap.........authors are Michael Connolly, John Connolly, Linda Fairstein, Thomas Harris, Mo Hayder, Quintin Jardine, John Grisham, Ian Rankin, Michael Palmer etc and a few books on the Da Vinci code lines (but not by Dan Brown).

Worth just listing titles and authors, and PMing interest in books you'd like to posters?

Thought about it in the past.......but no guarantee of ever getting one for yourself, especially up here........and while I don't like to reread..........I will if I have nothing else.

I am not going to vote because I live too far away to make use of it. But I encourage the Caithness orgers in this venture.

There's nowt to stop you. The spirit of sharing in reading the same book, as well as options to discuss it online.
