Book Aid!

I've discovered a glorious solution to my book addiction. In this month's copy of the Literary Review was a flyer for Book Aid's Reverse Book Club. It reads 'Three books for £6 and you'll never receive any of them!'. All sorts of books are sent to readers of all ages in Africa - useful ones (including Braille), not knackered obsolete school books.

So I can buy books, without having to read them or store them! I'm going to send them a chunk of cash. Alternatively, you could enrol in the same kind of scheme for me ('Book Aidan'): you buy books from reputable online stores and get them sent to me. I'll post a synopsis which you can then recycle on your blogs, in your essays, at your Reading group or dinner party. How about it?

Students: you could join the Book Aid club, send the books to Africa and get them to write your essays for you! Your marks may even improve!
