I'm a Moocher. I admit it. But that's OK.

It's BookMooch - something I picked up on at LibraryThing. It's very simple... you list the books you have and no longer want, which gives you the right to peruse everyone else's list of unwanted books. If you see something you like, you notify the lister and he sends it to you. Of course, it works the other way too - if someone wants one of your books, you send it to them. No money ever changes hands. BookMooch assigns points, tracks the transactions, and generally keeps everyone honest.
