If you're not familiar with the idea of booksharing, it's basically shipping books from person to person so that more people have a chance to read them, because after all, books don't accomplish much just sitting on the shelf.
Anyhow, I was thinking that since it seems pretty difficult to find more than the same couple of LGBT books in Borders and such, it might be cool to do some booksharing with them?
Options would be (feel free to post if you can think of others):
A bookring, in which someone starts a book going, and it's mailed from person to person until it gets back to the original sender.
A book ray, which is like a book chain, except it's not sent back to the original sender.
or, I think this one would be coolest,
A book box- A crate of books is sent out, and the recipient can take out whichever books interest him/her and either read them quickly before sending them back on, or replace the books they've taken out with books from their own collection.
The material wouldn't all have to be straight out of the Gay Studies section of the book store, but at least vaguely in tune with the theme. Relevent graphic novels would be great too (IE: Utena)
The books we use could be tracked through www.bookcrossing.com, which gives people the opportunity to see who else has read it, where the book's been, etcetera, or even just let everyone know when they're sending it on.
As a show of good faith, I've got no objection to being the one to start the first ray/chain/box.
Is anyone interested?
