I was emailing with a friend last week and I mentioned that I had over 90 books stacked next to my bed to read. So I took a picture.
Before you think that I own some stock in Borders or Amazon.com I should explain that I belong to a site called paperbackswap.com that I get most of these books through. By posting books I've already read and shipping them off to others I get credit towards other books that I can keep or read and re-post. In fact, a couple of these have already made their way on to others but I also just got 7 more books in the mail. Just when I think I've chipped away at the pile I get an influx of books from my wishlist...which is great...I'm just starting to worry that I will never get through this pile. This is one of the main reason's I've stopped watching television except for a few shows. The fear that I will die before I get all my books read...
so when I wasn't around the past two months you can now see where I was....buried under a huge stack of books:)

I think your book stack and my book shelf (2 and 3 books deep, stacked every which way) must be good friends. And for that very reason, paper back book swapping sounds very, very dangerous to me! Hope you can get through them!

What a cool way to share books, and man that photo is so dang cool!!
Good luck on getting through them. I fall asleep after one or two pages. I miss my old reading days. Maybe I'm just getting old. LOL!
