    Quite like the idea of swapping books

    this could be a great idea

    i try and get through a book or two a week, but i tend to stick with authors/genres i'm familiar with (discworld, ian m banks, crichton etc) so it could help to broaden my horizons

    the swapping idea could work as long as there are some rules regarding damages/losses that everyone agrees to - i don't mind lending people things but i get annoyed if they aren't looked after !
    I am a loud man with a very large hat. This means I am in charge

    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

    I'd thought about that. To be honest I would be happy to give away the books I've read, I wouldn't want them back. That said, they would only be paperbacks as I like to keep my hardbacks for good.

    I like to re-read my books, so i'd prefer to have them back (i'm currently on my 5th reading of The Lost World!)

    This is a top idea, a book section has been suggested before but it was never actioned as it wasnt thought it would get much use. The swapping idea is brilliant tho .

    I'll post up a list of books as soon as (and if ) the section gets running.

    What about a mini forum for discussing/exchanging books between members?

    I know most of us are geeks and reading books doesnt make you money on the side lol, but I think some of us would find it useful.

    No I don't agree, exchanging is entirely different thing to swapping. Sorry but I coined the phrase and that's that.

    Just kidding Goldberg, I was being facetious when I said it to BitchMonkey, and I am to you. It's a great idea (of yours), so let's hope it gets the green light from the powers that be. :thumbs

    I'll give you the 1st chapter of the JJ one.

    'Yeah like I was discovered. I sucked his cock and he fucked me but I only do anal with my partners as I have to hold something back. Errr what else, well not much. I sucked more cock and did women as well. What fun I have had. Derrrrr. Errrmmmm. Repeat ad infinitum.'
