free books: mainstream fiction

[she-of-emeralds.livejournal.com]

ETA: the crossed-out titles have been claimed. Thanks! I'll continue to update as needed.

Hi, folks! Good novels looking for a good home (I just don't have room for them anymore). Let me know if you are interested in any/all. Thanks!

First Hubby (Roy Blount)

The Mists of Avalon (Marion Zimmer Bradley)
The Catch Trap (Marion Zimmer Bradley)
The Darkover Concordance (Walter Breen)
and more than a dozen of Bradley’s Darkover novels

The Alienist (Caleb Carr)
The Angel of Darkness (Caleb Carr)

Robinson Crusoe (Defoe)

To Serve Them All My Days (Delderfield)

The Queen’s Gambit (historical fiction about Katherine Parr)

about a dozen novels by Graham Greene

The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales

The Remains of the Day (Ishiguro)

Captains Courageous (Kipling)

The Complete Yes Minister

Gone with the Wind

Doctor Zhivago

Night (Elie Wiesel)

And a whole bunch of books that are either minor works of J.R.R. Tolkien, or books written about him and/or his books. Preference to those would take all—there are about a dozen of these. Fun for fans of all ages.

Would you be willing to list the Tolkien-related books? I might be interested, depending on what they are.

great icon! :)

Here are the Tolkien books:

Books by Tolkien himself:
Smith of Wooton Major
Bilbo's Last Song
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
Unfinished Tales
The Tolkien Reader
Tree and Leaf
Roverandom

"History of Middle-Earth" by his son, Christopher: six volumes of J.R.R.'s drafts of LOTR. (There are other volumes of this; I don't have the complete set)

By other people--lit-crit and so on:
Tolkien's Letters
The Tolkien Family Album (photos)
Journeys of Frodo (maps)
The Atlas to Middle-Earth
The Languages of Middle-Earth
Myth, Magic and Meaning in Tolkien's World
The Tolkien Quiz Book
Understanding Tolkien
A Look Behind LOTR

RE: great icon! :)

Thanks! :)

So, I'm a bit of a Tolkien geek, as you can probably tell, and I already have several of those books. I would be interested in some of the others if you're willing to dispose of them individually. I know you said you prefer to give away the whole set at once, so I understand if you want to wait and see if you get a better offer. :)

I would definitely be interested in:

Roverandom
The Tolkien Reader
Bilbo's Last Song
The Languages of Middle-Earth

For the History of Middle-earth volumes, I also own some but not all of those; if you have vols. 7, 8, 9, or 10, I would be very interested.

For some of the other Tolkien non-fiction, I might be interested but I'd want to look at them first, since I'm not familiar with them.

Anyway, like I said, I'll understand if you decide you'd rather give them all away as a group.

Re: the four volumes you asked for, I've tentatively set them aside for you. I'll wait a little while--a day? two? not sure--to see whether anyone wants The Whole Bunch, then let you know.

Re: History of M-E: I have volumes 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9. Would be happy to give you the ones you're interested in if nobody speaks up for The Whole Bunch.

Re: the non-fiction, I'd be happy for you to come look at it when you come for the others.

Sound good?

Thank you, and sounds good to me!

I've been meaning to read Night for ages - would love to claim it! Also the Ishiguro, Queen's Gambit, and the Grimm's fairy tales.

[she-of-emeralds.livejournal.com]

Okay, you can have them! I will PM you with my phone number.

:)

RE: :)

[she-of-emeralds.livejournal.com]

You are now the proud owner of Gone With the Wind! I will PM you my phone number to arrange pickup. (Sorry, "Lord of the Rings" is not up for grabs.)

What Greene do you have (I will take all if you want to get rid of them en masse, and give away what I don't need if that is easier)?

Greene

I'd love it if you would take them all. I'm going to PM you my phone number so you can call to arrange a pickup time.
