Get It, Read It, Pass It Along!

[David]

Not sure how many folks from the old Bullpen Bulletins days may remember this, but we had a thread set up (started by Miguel, I believe) where you could suggest (or recommend) a collected edition that you want to read (or have read) and if anyone else wanted to read it, a chain was formed.  So if Slick, Junior, and Sport wanted to read The Nightly News, once it's obtained they spend some time and read it, then mail it to the next one on the list.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

Would anyone be interested in doing this?  It's listeners/forum members maintained, which I think went pretty well last time.  And it's a way to try something where the only thing you pay for is postage.  Which I think is why it was mostly trade paperbacks, to cut down on weight on not worry about any nicks and dents.  At one point I think notes, sketches, doodles, and the like were scribbled inside at least one trade.

So this will either die a quick, quiet death or it'll have legs.  We'll see.

Should I edit the first post?  Start a new thread?  Whatever helps things.

Maybe once we get organized in terms of who is sending what and when, etc. We should start a new thread

[David]

Okay.  Works for me.

Well I got Alan Moore's Wildcats....I remember someone was looking for that...

Okay...here's a wacky idea...

Instead of a single thread...what if we had a separate board. Each thread could be a title of a book someone is offering to send or a suggested title. You reply to that thread if you want to be considered and PM the next person on the list when you're done for address info...That way, instead of having to scroll through an entire thread to see if a certain book is available, you could just scroll through the list of title, add your name, and go on your merry way...

I've got a copy of "Crawlspace: XXX Zombies" that I'd be willing to share out the love with.  I really enjoyed the book, but having impressionable young boys in the house means its probably better for me to get it out of the house and away from their curious eyes.

Traffic Report?

 

That's actually a pretty darn creative title for this thing.

Renee must have come up with it.

I got quite a bit of stuff to read already, so I figure I'll just lend some stuff out for now. Should there be a request thread for people to request books?

We batted a couple ideas around.

Start a thread with a book you have to send out and see who bites.  If there's a better or easier way, I'm all ears.  Err....  eyes.  Whatever.
