[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3546655, member: 46636"] I realize that the OSA Website and forums are basically centered on topics related to shooting, hunting, fishing, reloading, cars, and semi-naked pretty women or the occasional grotesque stuff RickN posts -I do take peek now and then :) , but I’m sure members have interests and hobbies besides the main focus of this website. One of mine is reading. One could refer to me as an avid reader, which brings me to the question I am posting about. I am gradually disposing of stuff I don’t need in my life or in my house to eventually downsize. I have a fair number of books I am going to dispose of;ones I never plan to read again, that are just filling up shelves and boxes. I have books I plan to keep and will never part with and may very well read again. I am going to gradually make a list of those by name and author and would gladly give them to members that might be interested. I could donate them to the local library; but won’t. The local library has been gradually getting rid of printed books and going with digital books or audio books. I don’t enjoy either. The last time I went to the local library half the shelves were bare. If I donate books to the library they will simply sell them or trash them. My wife reads mostly on her IPad and I prefer holding a physical book. I could also trade the books I don’t want at book stores that will take used books and allow one to use the trade-in values for books they have to sell, but the exchange is not very equitable. If others are interested I can work up a list and send the list via PM. It will take some time on my part to go through all the books. Also, perhaps there might interest in a thread dedicated to swapping books or book recommendations. I’m always looking for new books to read and at times run out of ideas. Currently, I have read every book I possess and will be exploring new books to read. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
