Free books. Free books.

Take 'em now. Please. I got all these gently-used from working at the library and letting them sit on my 'things to read' shelf for over three years. Others are from pillaging the warehouse at the magazine hut where I was employed for a time. So, I'm sick of looking at these, and will send them out to whoever wants them (no Nigeran book scams please).

The Greek File by William Abranowicz
Actual-new (save for my flipping), coffee table photo book about Greece.

Lives of the English Poets Vol. II OUP by Samuel Johnson
Ye olde book.

Ecstasy by Louis Couperus
You know when old-timey books promise that they're all about sensuality and provocative hot touch and all the controversy is because they hold hands at midnight in the garden? That's what I bet this book is like. I read another one by this guy and publisher and the heroine just ran around naked and wearing wings the whole book.

Emily's Quest by L.M. Montgomery
Bought it for school. Never read it. So it goes.

The Penguin Book of Homosexual Verse ed. Stephen Coote
This is actually very good I'm just sick of looking at it. It goes chronologically from Homer to Rita Mae Brown. Someone should claim it. Watch for the Tennessee Williams poem. I just read it. I'm keeping this one.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Back cover copy: "Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of the readers forever." Why would I get rid of such a powerful tome? My ex gave it to me saying it would change my life, and by that time I already had. You can only buy this version in India.

Fortunata and Jacinta by Benito Pérez Galdós
It's like those old-timey books about women in England. But this one's in Spain. I tried so hard to get to it but there are only so many Spanish versions of Middlemarch you can read.

Significant Things by Helen McLean
I've never read the flap copy for this book and I'm not about to start. Want it?

Classical Mythology by two people with lots of letters in their names.
It's a reference text. I don't do Greek mythology though, so whoever can use it it's a very handy book.

Mothers and Daughters ed. Alberto Manguel
Some anthology about mother-daughter bond, etc. Slight cover wear but spine uncracked.

Descant 118 & 121
118 is all about Turkey. 121 is called "The Writing on the Walls." Descant is pretty righteous.

Room of One's Own vols. 24:3 ("Home and Away"), 24:4 ("Road Trip") and 26:2 ("Juxtapositions")
I picked these up because I thought they'd be all about Virginia Woolf and never even opened them.

So click comment or email me with a yea or nay. Free books. If you don't live in meet-up-for-coffee distance I might haggle about the cost of the mail.

p.s. I will trade actual, good books--or food, or even money--if anyone has a ticket for me to go see the Go! Team on July 13 in Toronto.
