The Great Book Purge of 2009--Updated List

[jon_chaisson]

We do have some takers, but there's still a LOT of titles left--feel free to snag whatever you'd like--we'll pay the postage! No, seriously--we send these media mail so it only costs a few bucks, and we get a less-cluttered, less-dusty apartment out of the deal. ;) (Of course, if you say you want to take every single book left, that may be an issue... ;) )

Come on, you know you want more of them!

[Of course, if no one takes them, this would basically mean we'd be giving these to our local library, so it's not as if we'd be throwing them away...but we're thinking of friends first!]

EDIT: I haven't done any book mailing as of today (3/15/09), and might not get to it until next weekend, so A)let me know if you want or need any of these books right away and I'll try to get them out earlier, and B)feel free to add to your list if you missed anything else!

EDIT 2: Oh, and feel free to print/show this list to friends that might not be on my LJ friends list, it's pretty much open to anyone. ;)

I will take any of the Melanie Rawn and Lee & Miller that aren't claimed. Thank you!

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

They're yours! Looks like you're taking all the doorstop books... :p

I see I still have your address from the last purge, unless you've moved... ;)

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Oh--meant to add that I'm not adding the paperback of Local Custom, as it's already a part of the Pilot's Choice trade. Let me know if you want it anyway! :)

[liret.livejournal.com]

That's fine!

Also, I'm not sure what address you have ( I can't remember where I was last time.) the best one now, assuming you haven't already mailed anything, is 2508 Napoleon Ave, Apt F, New Orleans LA, 70115.

[maps-or-guitars.livejournal.com]

I'm in for these guys:
Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
CJ Cherryh, The Collected Short Fiction of CJ Cherryh
Martha Grimes, Hotel Paradise
Masamune Shirow, Appleseed Book 1: The Promethean Challenge
Masamune Shirow, Appleseed Book 2: Prometheus Unbound

Masamune Shirow, Appleseed Book 4: The Promethean Balance
Masamune Shirow, Dominion

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

I can get you the Atwood, Cherryh and Grimes, but alas I forgot to delete out the Shirow books, as head58 has already laid claim in the last. Sorry about that!!! :(

EDIT: I figure since you know each other, he can hand them off to you when he's done, either for reading or borrowing...and yep, just got your email with the addy...thanks! :)

[maps-or-guitars.livejournal.com]

No sweat! Them's the breaks.

[ying-ko-4.livejournal.com]

Daniel Pool, What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew

If there is still room, this sounds interesting...

If not, I'm okay with it.

Thanks anyhow. This is a great thing you're doing.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Added! :)

[ying-ko-4.livejournal.com]

Many thanks.

I feel like a bit of a mooch, truth be told.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

No worries! I think my friend bonniers has the current lead at about a dozen or so books! ;)

[queenoftheskies.livejournal.com]

Feel free to tell me if this is too many...and let me know postage amount.

Thanks!

Thank you. :)

[astres.livejournal.com]

I saw your comment in queenoftheskies journal. Could I get Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games?
CS Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia
Marianne de Pierres, Code Noir
Marianne de Pierres, Nylon Angel

If not because you totally don't know who I am, that's totally alright XD! But I've been dying to get my hands on the Hunger Games.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Not a problem! :) I'll put them aside for you. You can email your address to joncwriter (at yahoo dot com) and I'll mail them when I mail everyone else's. :)

EDIT: I have to say I really enjoyed Hunger Games, but I was a bit let down when I found out it was the first in a trilogy--man, now I have to read the next two! :p

[dollydelusion.livejournal.com]

I'll do the Historian and Slaughterhouse-Five :)

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Done! :)

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

(wandered in from queenoftheskies)

I'll give a good home to Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles and Triangle: The Fire That Changed America.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

Done! You can send your addy to joncwriter (at yahoo) so I can mail it. :)

[bonniers.livejournal.com]

Since you're sending stuff to me anyway, you can throw in Karl Schroeder, the Shakespeare poems, Neuromancer, and any short story collections or cookbooks that nobody else wants. Also the Writer's Digest yearbooks.

I passed most of the last batch you sent on to other people. The circulation of the words continues *g*

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

They're on the list, and thanks! :)

EDIT: Oh, and I think the cookbooks have already been called for...I just have to remember which ones to take off the list. Sorry! :(
