This is more of a reading activity than a writing activity, but I didn't really know where else to put this topic.

Anyways, here's the activity:
Book Swap
Here's something I used to do on another forum.
-To find good new books to read when your bored...
-You can make someone read a book of your choice, if you read a book of their choice.

If you guys like this idea, then we could probably do NO new releases, so that people don't have to buy the books to read.

Good idea?

Very fun idea - only it might fit better in fiction discussion.

Well, it doesn't look as if the topic's going to be moved promptly...

Should someone start?

Here are three books - see if anyone wants to make a swap of it -

Silas Marner by George Eliot

Mimus by Lilli Thal

Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde

Poor Imp, I read Mimus, by Lili Thal and I think its bloody well awesome. The way the prince was brought down to such a very low level was fantastic.

The Darkness That Comes Before--By Scott. R. Bakker

There are no words to describe the awesomeness of this book and the series to which it belongs: The Prince of Nothing.

I'll read Fire and Hemlock, Doe. For all the Diana Wynne Jones books I've read, I haven't read that one - and the library has it.

Jigsaw - Mimus was rather good, wasn't it? At least, certainly it was intriguing. The court fool side of it was all amazingly detailed - good medieval history. ^_^ (What's the "Prince of Nothing" about?)
