Music Swap and Party Talk

[innerSpaceman]

What are the participation requirements? Old books we're tired of but that we think someone else on earth might possibly enjoy?

Do they have to be fiction?

No phone books. Heh. And referably nothing too horribly damaged. A coffee stained cover, no problem. Water-logged because your house flooded, maybe not.

They can be books you read and hated. Books you read, enjoyed, but probably won't read again and would rather not keep around taking up space. I love books and I have ones I'll never give up, but I'm not exactly a collector. I've always clung to my books - wanted to own them, show them off - but I'm trying to de-clutter, be less attached to things I don't really need. I want to keep the books I'll re-read, the ones I'd like to share but ultimately have returned. But there are some I have just because I read them once upon a time, and so they are being wasted. Aesthetically I enjoy seeing books I've read or plan to read around. But I don't own a home and I will move again someday, and I don't want to keep packing up and moving books I'll never read again.

Etc.

I am slightly confused. Is there some famous public book swap that you are referring to? it seems like in the bolded part you are saying "book swap before the book swap"

And is there going to be a music swap as well?

How about a wife swap?

Typo. Am reopening the book swap discussion before moving on to discuss the possibility of an ongoing music swap (that wouldn't necessary require meeting up in person, but occasional get-togethers would be swell, and swanky).
