So I’ve joined up with BookMooch and encourage everyone to do the same.  It’s a world-wide book sharing club, and it works like this:

1. You type in the books you want to give away.
2. You receive requests from others for your books.
3. You mail your books and receive points.
4. Ask for books from others with your points.

How brilliant is that? In order to mooch books from others, you need to earn points which you use up as you get free books from other people.  You earn points when you:

• Type books in: enter books you own and want to give away.
  Each book typed in gets you 1/10th of a point.
• Give books away: respond to a mooch request, and send your book to them.
  1 point awarded, 3 points if sent to another country.
• Acknowledge Receipt: after you receive a book, leave feedback for the sender.
  Each feedback receives 1/10th of a point.

Anyway, I think it’s a brilliant idea. You can view my current list of books to give away here: http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/chuckler (just press cancel when it asks for a login, it’ll still let you see the books).
