I love the idea of giving away books. I took a sack to my Mothers house to share the rest of my reading hungry family. I have a garage full of books and am getting ready to move (yet again) so I may just catalog them and do the Craigslist thing. I digress, I can't wait to read more.alphawomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788721975727895601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-63525085440407250522011-01-05T08:10:12.445+00:002011-01-05T08:10:12.445+00:00a wonderful piece of writing. it made me think abo...a wonderful piece of writing. it made me think about my bookshelves and my relationship with its inhabitants. <br /><br />it is so hard to part with them. I am glad you have found a way. I envy the woman who can take hers to Oxfam.
