Summer Book Swap

I'm game. Though I wont be lending too many to read myself, I don't have enough time to read fiction at the moment.

Excellent idea, although given our rather patchy record with postal thingumies I think a two-week turnover would be wildly optimistic!

I'm kinda temped by this, that is, if people don't mind getting books from my Supernatural Romance collection. I'm afraid my tastes have gone a bit trashy

And no, George. I was just thinking of the camera project.

We can do it. Any books will do. This should broaden our literary horizons.

I have had it for too long though, I do apologize, I always steal your books

I'm going for a ridiculously hard-to-read book, just for fun;

Foucault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco

Blurb - Three book editors, jaded by reading far too many crackpot manuscripts on the mystic and the occult, are inspired to have some fun by an extraordinary conspiracy story told to them by a strange colonel. They start feeding random bits of information into a powerful computer capable of inventing connections between the entries, thinking they are creating nothing more than an amusing game, but then their game starts to take over, the deaths start mounting, and they are forced into a frantic search for the truth.

Most of the book makes little to no sense and is the hardest thing to follow I've ever read. And there's quotes at the start of every chapter in a variety of languages which is annoying, but still.
