swapping for good, or just swap like borrowing? which term?

Both can I think.
Depends on you guys.

Both but the main idea is borrowing ^__^ Since everyone is complaining books are expensive, we swap la! Buy less but read more.

Can be either way la kot? Depending on the two parties. Kalau both parties okay with swapping terus, then let is stay at that la. Kalau swap to borrow, then lepas baca kasi balik..

Btw, any of you guys in JB?
For a quick gathering books swapping?

shah_ho_nam2, yes I'm in JB.
Studying here.

Good idea shah_ho_nam2, why don't all of us post up our locations?

feyhime, please list member name and their location...

easier for later book swapping

Alright. You guys write it down and I'll put it up on the first post.

I am in KL

I'm in KL as well -- like, pretty much smack dab in the middle of all the mess.

thanks Fey... i almost cried when u actually deleted me although i told you so. hah.

I believe swap means exchange lah, not borrow. if become good friends later and need to read/refer to that book then ask if can borrow Back for a while or not loh.
for me, no need to give it back to me lah. hah.
im in sabah, but occasionally visiting KL/Png and overseas, eg HK. Pls include me in the group of KL/Sabah, Fey, Thanks.

How about category of books? languages? area of interests so that when A is eying on B's booklist, B can ask if A has got certain books or not, etc.....

i have lots of chinese books to be given away, i might be able to find some HK comics from 80s too for collectors to sell or collections... I might as well take a pic instead of naming them one by one... when I have time Just keep me in the loop for time being pls, thanks all!

Anyone keen to take a peek at my WeRead, pls pm with your facebook: screen name or email registered for facebook.

Theres a thread already about swapping books so that we can list down our interests and what we wanna borrow.

I guess I'm the furthest away from anyone here
I would swap if anyone's nearby -- I got several 'Learn Japanese Language' books in my apartment.

Since I am unable to do so at the moment, I would go by just supporting this thread!

SS> Nah I don't think we need to do so much categorising. Just compile a list and put them up in the List thread. And remember if the books aren't English, do says so.

I'll prefer temporary exchange because I sure as hell am not willing to give away my books! T^T (Unless if I really didn't like it)

same here.. i don't want to lose my books.

eh how about we all meet once for every 2 weeks or a month?

the next meeting, surely both parties finished reading it already

Count me in!

Subang Jaya + KL

I propose book-keeping guidelines though on the first post

Oh welcome pinknotebook!

Thank you for the suggestion! I've included them in the List thread.

i'm available for book swapping in Klang & Subang ^^

maybe can offer Dan Brown and Judith Mc Naught books for swapping

oh i have all dan brown book and judith mcnaught book....I'm sorry to say this but would you all promise to take care of my book and not folded and things like that.

if you could take care the books then I'm in. I'm sorry if i sound obnoxious but i really love my books.

sure we all wanted to say the same thing also

so fey, when u want to start lor?

Pheww I thought I was the only one feeling like that. Great!I'm in. I'll try to make a list of the books that I have.Most of my books are in my parents home instead of my current rent place

but the one that i have now is

1. James Clavell- Taipan
2. Judith Mcnaught-Something Wonderful,Paradise,Once and Always
3. Anchee Min- Empress Orchid
4. Barack Obama- The Audacity of Hope
5. J.D Robb- Naked in Death
6. Phillipa Gregory- The Constant Princess

And I definitely agree meeting once a month to swap books.

Hang on bookies... still in the midst of listing out the books and figuring out my "want" list..

we can only start when we have enough participant. the club list has what less than 3 person?

i believe we are:

me
lunalovegood
you
massa
budakjahat

any other?

Plus the 2 other bookies who've shared their list already in the book swap thread...

I'd like to join too. Will go work on making a list.

yeah but list mana?

i got a bunch of judith mcnaught, dan brown, and some others. i dont think i'll lend my harry potter collection though, they are just too precious, but i might consider it if someone really, really, really want to read them and promise to return them as they are.

LOL.. ok.. ok.. wiken i post the list..

Updated my list. I'll be reviving my Bookcrossing account with further updates when I get home after work.

I'll update my list once I have some time. Currently not reading anything at all, lol.

not for this time around. somebody is going to give birth really soon

have some books to swap too.. some old chicklits, novels but mostly serious stuff.

JUDITH MCNAUGHT!!!!

I'd swap any book you want for a copy of Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses". Even if I don't own the copy you want, I'd go and buy it from the bookshop to swap with you. Please PM me.
