Hi everyone,

 

Hey was thinking of starting a book sharing group, where we can exchange books that we own(its very difficult to find good library or bookstores here in Doha and also its very costly).

 

Rules are simple .. Just give the list of books that you own and if   interested you can meet up with others and exchange the books with them.

 

Ok ill start.

 

Books:

 

Brief history of time - Stephen Hawkins

Anne Franks Diary- Anne frank

Snow - Orhan Pamuk

How to make friends and influence people- Dale Carnegie

 

 

I presently reside in Negma in Doha. 

 

New suggestions, ideas etc will be appreciated.

i would like the idea of a book group too! however, i tried joining the one in QL and never heard any response. I sent an invite twice..well..not my loss if  people choose to snub me. I tried my best and was earnest in my wanting to join..whoever is interested out there so am I! In fact..more than clothes i brought books from back home coz i knew i would miss them..

PLus I purchase books whenever I travel so I have an extensive collection.

If I were to make a list it would literally take me hours.

I have asian,american and latin american poetry books, magical realism books, female literature like alice walker, erica jong, margaret atwood and isabel allende, banana yoshimoto and ntozake shange...some science fiction and the occasional gem like art of war, the prophet...

Ask  QL admin guys first..... they were telling me last week that they stopped opening new groups.   

 

Book crossing.com   should be easier than QL for this..
