I believe you tagged me incorrectly. I certainly haven't sent you any books!

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

The books know where they are. It's the participants that have gone AWOL.

Excuse me. I sent mine out - thenewgreen.

Calling you out, man.

Anyway, I never saw another book. Actually I think I've read them all, can we start again with different ones?

Add new ones? But remember to include the Super Secret Special Thing...

And also add them to the map.

Shit, I totally forgot about this. I actually think I have my book in storage in NY? I'll have to see if I can find it, or if not, I guess it'll wait til August.

I still have The Hot Zone, nobody requested it, but i'm happy to mail it to whomever would like to learn about AIDS Ebola.

I thought The Hot Zone was Ebola?

Evidently I need to read it again before passing it on, edited for brain fart.

Guilty as charged. 326 pages into Kavelier & Clay, which is more pages than all other physical books I've read put together in the last two years. Not that it's the book's fault though - I have the same problem as kb in that I basically only read audio or ebook.

I can keep it longer and maybe finish it when I am bored but it's not very likely, so if anyone wants it I can send it.

I sent East of Eden to arguewithatree over a year ago.

Wasn't pointing fingers, just stating facts :)

And if you've got priorities that are higher than the social pressure of an ad-hoc book club, you should do those first. But I don't like Steinbeck that much to begin with.

i guess I should have created a database driven backend and easy to use ISBN scanning app first.

But the system is working like mycelial threads. Underground. Unseen.

I think you should repost the pretty page you made, and a reminder so the users can update it themselves.
