So many books, so little time.
Do you like to read? Where do you get your books? From the library? The bookstore? What do you do with them after they are read? Do you have shelves and boxes of dusty books?
I came across this in a magazine:
The cost of all those best sellers - or the wait for them to show up at the library - can cramp your bookworm style.
Subscribe to bookswim.com to rent classics and new titles, with free shipping both to and from your home. It's like Netflix for books.
If you do buy books, what do you do with them after they are read?
I think that a book should be passed on, read by as many people as possible. What good is it just sitting on a shelf collecting dust?
Speaking of passing them on, recently I came across another neat idea for those books you want to pass on -
Bookcrossing, "the world's biggest free book club - catch and release used books.
At BookCrossing, you can register any book you have on the site, and then set the book free to travel the world and find new readers.
Leave it on a park bench, at a coffee shop, at a hotel on vacation. Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a bookshelf at the gym -- anywhere it might find a new reader! What happens next is up to fate, and we never know where our books might travel next. Track the book's journey around the world as it is passed on from person to person."
Whether you are shopping for gifts, or just want a good book to curl up with, here are some more good websites for book browsing:
