A Word From Our Sponsors

Well, not really. I don't actually have any sponsors. I wish I had sponsors. For that matter, I wish I had a large enough audience to justify a sponsor.

LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!

Sigh.

At any rate, I do want to plug something. There's a site I've been using called BookMooch that I adore. Basically, the site facilitates the swapping of books between users. Here, I'll let the founder explain:



Cool, huh? So, why am I bringing it up here? Well, I've got a few credits burning a hole in my account, but despite the large selection of books already available, I'm having trouble finding books to mooch. The books I know I want to read are just too damn popular (and other users seem to be faster on the mooch than I am).

My hopes are two-fold. First, if I can get more people signing up and adding books, maybe I can catch one of the ones I've been looking for. Second, maybe some folks here will be good enough to recommend some books for me to look for over on BookMooch that I haven't thought of.

So, you've got your orders, now get to it.

  1. So it's kind of like Book Swim? That one gets good reviews from friends who use it, too. Either way, I hope you get what you're looking for. I almost certainly don't have anything of interest to you, so I won't bother signing up. I'll just be defeatist about it.

  2. Never heard of Book Swim, so I don't know, but probably. That's the thing about ideas like this, there end up being so many iterations of the idea that the user-base gets spread a little thin sometimes.
