Off late, my visits to bookshops have been leaving me lighter - both in my wallet and my shopping bag! While the choice of books available is better than ever before, their prices have also increased substantially. In a recent foray when I regretfully decided against buying a book I thought was too expensive, I got thinking how nice it would be to be able to read books without having to necessarily buy them...

It came to me, why not SWAP books instead of buying them? Why not get rid of a book on my shelf every time I get a new one to read? After all, modern homes aren't so large that there's space for a couple of hundred books. Other than space, swapping books also saves money -- and in today's scenario, that's a good thing, right?

So the best thing to do for people who love to read, is to find such services online or offline...or even better create their own clubs! It's a lot of fun and very rewarding too!
