bookmooch

is this really interesting website that i heard about from the brit today, and it’s looking promising!

basically you upload a list of books you want to give away, and you can earn points that let you mooch books from other people in return.

you pay for the postage needed to send books to someone, and sending overseas lets you get more books than sending domestically.

i’m not sure whether it’ll help me save money in the long run – mooching books rather than buying them second-hand from amazon japan – but i suppose i rather like the idea of recycling books read? and it’s a very cool concept too, i think.
