I "recycle" books thru my local nursing homes and personal care homes. Also when I travel to work in these types of facilities I take books I have read and place them into their book shelves and occasionally take a new one to read while I'm working there. These types of places don't always have someone to turn over their stock so the residents don't get new choices unless they are brought in from outside. I was at one place and a lady and I traded books all week. She actually waited for mine until I was done with it. She was so happy for new material. Soooo if you have a place like this near you stop in and see if they would like some new reads you are done with. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
This is a brilliant idea! I will approach our local elder care facilities this week and see if they want supplied with new library stock on a regular basis! :)

That Hersey book sounds fascinating. Did he write it as sci-fi or dystopia or was it more of a prediction?
I’d say predictive dystopia. Or, at the very least, cautionary dystopia. It’s a very interesting thought exercise. I quite enjoyed it.
