My local library is taking books for their "Friends of the Library" book sale so Saturday they are going to get a nice surprise of as many boxes as I can fit in my car. A local used bookstore also said he'll take classics, a box at a time, in exchange for store credit (hmmm...this is both good and bad. I don't really want to do a 1:1 replacement of books!). All I know is that when I was a kid I found two books that became lifetime favorites in a box of used books a friend of my grandmother's gave to my sister and I - T.H. White's "The Once and Future King" and Taylor Caldwell's "The Listener" (OMG moment - I never actually paid attention to who wrote The Listener and it turns out I absolutely love "The Romance of Atlantis" by...you guessed it...Taylor Caldwell! Okay, now I have to go read all her other books....). Anyway...what was my point? Oh, yes...that through a gift of used books I discovered some wonderful stories that shaped the person I am today. Destroy a book? Never. I'll store these things until the end of time if need be. :-) - Terri Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:57:24 +0100 http://terribruce.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122:books-a-million&catid=62:random-thoughts-on-reading&Itemid=118#comment-70 How about a retirement community or nursing home, halfway house, rehab center? Or you can post on WWW.freecycle.com to find someone interested in them. Or you could start your own library ... :) Nelson was always fun to talk to, about books genealogy, anything! - Heather Barrett Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:21:54 +0100 http://terribruce.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122:books-a-million&catid=62:random-thoughts-on-reading&Itemid=118#comment-69 I like donation, if not to school libraries then to Goodwill or any other place that collects books for the less fortunate. Maybe some kind of adult learning center that teaches reading? - Barbara Ann Wright Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:28:08 +0100 http://terribruce.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122:books-a-million&catid=62:random-thoughts-on-reading&Itemid=118#comment-68 Oh geez, you weren't joking. o.O - Caterina Torres Thu, 05 Apr 2012 07:29:29 +0100 http://terribruce.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122:books-a-million&catid=62:random-thoughts-on-reading&Itemid=118#comment-67 there has to be someone someplace in the country or world who would love those books. Destroy them? Are you kidding? Bad karma, man, don't do it. - john Thu, 05 Apr 2012 03:27:22 +0100 http://terribruce.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122:books-a-million&catid=62:random-thoughts-on-reading&Itemid=118#comment-65 Donate to your school library? - Michelle4Laughs Thu, 05 Apr 2012 01:03:07 +0100
