I've got Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I have just read the first one though. If anybody is interested I can send them to you.

Pirate, do you have any other books that you can share? :D

Hi Dixie

Do you mean you have Harry Potter ebooks? Can you send me the 1st one - "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" - to the mailbox above. Thanks a lot.

I'm also searching for "Living history" by Hilary Clinton. Do you know where we can have it for free? ( :? )

Hope you already get my mail back. Thanks again.
Now I just have that valuable book. Some other will be found in the website I gave.

Her biography book? If that, then I have it. I can send the copy to you if you really need to read it.

Oh thanks a lot. Lennye, please send the copy to my mailbox.

I really like to read it, to know how this woman says about the life around. By the way, how do you find it?

When I said "send," I meant thru post office mailing, snail mail, not email. That's what I meant when I said I have the book.

Umm how much will it cost? In case I can afford, I think I have to send you by money order. A bit ... disappointed because the book used to be sold here, but too expensive.

Vietnamese have a not-very-good habit that we try to get things with low-cost or even free, so many things here are illegal. If we buy legally, the payment would be really 'killing'.

I don't know what gender you are, but I'm guessing you're a girl so you're lucky girl. I've just gotten the book back today from my friend. I think I'll try to type it to you then. Check your mailbox on the weekend. ( I can't post it here because of copyright, but I think it would be ok if I send it thru private since it'll become a personal thing)
I can't do it on weekdays, Monday thru Wednesday because I have school. Thursdays and Fridays are for studying. I can type it on the weekends only. The book is 18 dollars without shipping. So it's expensive if I make copies for you or buy the book for you or ship it to you. I don't mind taking my time typing it to you. If you prefer me to send the book, I'll send it. Otherwise, I'll send it every weekend for you. So what do you think?

I like the way he analized his cases but too much deaths in those stories though.

Well, I would look for books that call my interest to start with. If you read books that you find boring or not interesting at all, you are likely to not reach chapter 2 :wink: :D What kind of books do you prefer? What are your favorite topics? Look for books that suit your tastes.

Any book will be good to enrich and improve your vocabulary. If you read it with interest you won't even notice you're reading in a foreign language! :D That will mean you're really enjoying what you are reading.

Check sharing books topic. There should be a lot of books members think are good to read. Why don't you start with them first? :wink:
