I think a regular book exchange would be a great idea for guys like me who is troubled with the scarce book resource in Shanghai.
I have a few books at hand that I have read but don't want to re-read or collect. Selling them to garbage collectors is a crime against them. Putting them away on the shelf and never laying hands on them are another crime against their potential readers. So I plan to exchange them for what I want to read. I sincerely call on you to join me in this exchange.
Books I'd like to let go include
Robert Ludlum: Scarlatti Inheritance, Matlock Paper, Rhinemann Exchange
James Patterson: Along Came a Spider, Kiss the Girl
John Grisham: The Firm
Frank Herbert: Hellstorm's Hive, Messiah of Dune
Morris West: The Devil's Advocate
Stephen King: Night Shift
Eric Lustbader: The Miko, Second Skin
