Don't forget to update the thread when a change has occurred, so I can update the library index.

[studemax]

Exactly. Finish reading the books, mail them to the next guy, and then FINALLY back to the owner. That WAS the deal, wasn't it?

[Monster]

Denise (LadyGT) finished this one and it is available ....

The Anatomy of Peace
By The Arbinger Institue

[Barry Donovan]

I found a book today in the donated piles in my building,
one word on the side, hard cover:
YEAGER
general chuck yeager & leo janos
1985 autobiography.

I felt it was relevant, as even the first ten pages reveal a claimed poorest state origin, and being a trouble maker..
he was a mechanic before pilot, styed 20/10 on every nut and bolt. As a crew chief, who started off on deer meat in the countries poorest state...
very enlifting. Glad to meet him.

I wonder when west virginia was ever more poor than maine. Even yeagers time as a boy in the 20s had a wood industry narrowed down to elite here.

anyway, will post when I am done with it, I read fast.

[Monster]

I'd like to see that after you Boxer, sounds very interesting ... don't forget to sign the inside front cover before you send it.

I will.
my luck, some nut would think its famous.

great story so far.. I am up to the chapter where glennis (his first wife) is first writing her own chapter.

[studemax]

What did you bastards do? Sell the books on eBay?
READ THE DAMN THINGS, AND SEND THEM ON.
Eventually, I'd like to get mine back.

[173rdherd]

who owns the driver?

[Monster]

who owns the driver?

It's usually the first person who signed it, so according to my list, that would be Dave (DNut) in this case.
Haven't seen him in ages though .....

[studemax]

What has happened to this cool book-sharing thing we had going here?
Read the damn things, or send them back to the owner.

[SuperBuickGuy]

We should move up with the times. It's damn easy to share Kindle books. You share it, they read it, it come back... no postage, no mess.

Little late for that, isn't it? How about dealing with reality? READ THE DAMN BOOKS, OR RETURN THEM TO THEIR OWNERS YOU SORRY SONS OF BITCHES.
