Free Books (for facebook)

FREE BOOKS

In, what will no doubt be a fruitless effort, to declutter my life a bit, I’m getting rid of some books. I’m way too lazy to be bothered with selling or trading them, and I hate to think of them gathering dust in a charity shop. As such, I’m offering them here on the old facebook before I cart them off.

Take a look at the list and email me if you want anything. Obviously it’s way more convenient for me if live in or around the greater philadelphia area. If you don’t, we can probably figure something out though. So seriously, email me, take these shits. Help curb my compulsion to hoard before I become one of those people who gets buried and dies in an avalanche of their own stuff and doesn’t get found for weeks.

The books are (in alpha order by author)

Today's Yelp Sentence

That makes me want to grab one of those big strollers the daycare in my building uses to move lots of tots around in and lit that bitch on fire, take my shirt off and run screaming into the front of an oncoming SEPTA bus:

Well what can I say about this place that hasn’t been covered by everyone so far. We Elite Yelpers invaded after the event at Area 919.

I'm Not

Going to write about it here.  Well ok, except for this, because this is obviously about it.  But, after this I’m not going to write about it…unless I’m drunk.  In which case, I’ll probably just delete it.  I know you’re coming here.  I’m not sure what you’re looking for.  You have to know I still hate you.  You have to know that maybe I always will in some way.  I guess I want to be friends.  But I can’t do that until I don’t hate you quite as much.  Right now I don’t want to be your friend because I can’t be friends with someone I hate so much.  So…I just noticed you were looking and I guess I wanted you to find something, so that’s that.
