I've been ridiculously busy this week because in the midst of graduating from college I also got a new job and have already started. It's just data entry (read: incredibly, horribly boring) but it's for a non-profit I've volunteered with for years and they're paying me $12 an hour so I'm really not complaining.

For instance: I have volumes 1-4 of preacher and I'm interested in reading Watchmen, if there was some sort of community where I could post what I'm looking for and also what I have to lend, maybe I could find someone who'd be interested in doing a (temporary) trade. Like a book borrowing club or something. Obviously there could be some problems, operating on the honor system, with not getting your books back, but I don't know how big of a problem it could be. Would anyone be interested in something like that? Or do you have any ideas about how it could be done better?
