FREE STUFF (take two.)

Okay, let's try this again.

The lists of free books have been updated. I am giving away all the books tagged "togoaway" in my LibraryThing Account.

You can see the list at my LibraryThing account here, or if LT is being buggy, it's up my webspace here.

I am also giving away books from my Dad's library, here at Librarything and and here at my webspace.

If you want any, leave me a comment with titles, and I will send them to you for shipping costs or less. Get me your email address (either here or at thisaccountname at yahoo) and I'll get back to you early next week for details once I've actually pulled out your books.

Also! Have another weird LP rip. This one appears to be the soundtrack of a son et lumiere production given at Gizeh of the pyramids in 1961. Full of bombastic classical music and very British historical voiceovers and random, old-fashioned translations of Egyptian texts. Fun! It's one mp3, because there were no natural breakpoints, 50 minutes. Here History Began.mp3


..also, as part of my ongoing effort to be less lurky online, I'm friending some of the people I've been watching through friendsfriends. So if I've just friended you, Hi! I've been watching you! Claim some books.

Oh goody! You can reach me at origamicage @ gmail . com.

I don't think you know me, but I'd still like to claim a few - it all depends on the shipping costs. ;___; Would claiming less books lessen the cost? I may have to talk with you over this.

Portable Medieval Reader
Flowers In The Attic (Dollanganger)
You Know You're a Republican/Democrat If... [Out of all of them, I really want this, if possible. It would be perfect for a birthday present for my dad.]
The Science of Harry Potter: How Magic Really Works
Carrie
The Communist Manifesto

From your dad's books:

The Portable Nietzsche (Viking Portable Library)
The Great Documents of Western Civilization

If you're in the US, then I'll be sending it media-mail, which is the cheapest possible rate, and these are all reasonably small-sized books, so I'd guess the shipping would be between three and four dollars? Definitely not more than five. If you're not US it'll be considerably more, though.

If you just want the political joke book, I probably can just put a regular first-class stamp on it and not worry about getting reimbursed.

I am in the US, thank goodness. I'd be happy to pay five dollars for all of these books!

Thank you very much!

Oh, yes, sorry! Everything got put off a few days by the election; I'm getting to work on the e-mails tonight.

Er, I apologize, but I really want the books soon. I'd be happy a couple dollars more... I haven't got an email yet, but please let me know if you sent it. I'm sorry for bothering you.

Yay! Gotcha.

Reading your dad's list says a lot about you. :) Did he annotate that one book on imitating Christ? If so, I like him! In that spirit, could I grab a few before anyone else does?

Captains of Consciousness
In the Wake of the Plague
God & Other Famous Liberals
The Life of Greece
Red Giants & White Dwarfs (for my husband)

Thanks!!

I will do my best!

Do you want to e-mail me a mailing address, or keep hoping that one day we will meet in person? :D

Hey!

So I went through and pulled out books; but some of Dad's books had already been pulled out by Mom's friends without me knowing, so all I got for you are Captains of Consciousness and Red Giants & White Dwarfs, unless I find another cache somewhere.

I don't think I heard back from you? Let me know if you want me to send them (e-mail thisaccountname at yahoo) or save them in hopes we will meet face-to-face someday.

(And yeah, he did the annotations!
