I decided to stack all the books I don't want anymore next to my bookshelf, and friends can help themselves. I picked up two unwanted books today from a friend's stack. I picked the two smallest books -- one is called Virtues of Friendship and Loyalty edited by William J. Bennett. I also chose a smaller book ~ a tiny picture book of roses with descriptions. Something I'd never buy new, but like to look at, and one day I might leave it behind at a coffeeshop or cafe.
What I'm reading right now: The Job by Sinclair Lewis. (and also The Odd Women by George Gissing. ) Both books are about women who venture out into the workforce. So far I like them both very much. Hope to finish the Lewis book tonight, then pick up the Gissing book again.

Putting books by your bookshelf is a great idea and a cool way to recycle.
We have 2nd hand bookstores that take books for cash or credit :) That comes in handy if you have too many books,hahaha
