I have approximately 400 books in my house. It drives my mother crazy because I don't have a library. The books are often scattered all over the place. Today I went to Borders and bought six new books (educators get a discount!!!!) The minute my mother saw the bag her voice went supersonic. Too many books, she yelled. They're all over the place.

I recently joined BookMooch. It's a book lover's delight. You give a book, you take a book. Of course, some of my books are in my permanent collection and I wouldn't part with them for the world, but others are gathering dust. What better way to get new books than by trading old ones!
