Po Bronson, WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE?
At some point there will probably be a few more than these, but this is most of it.
Fine print:
1. Appearance on this list should not be considered either a positive or negative review by me; some stuff on here have I loved but I have to stay in the "minimum estimated volume" with my movers, Or Else. Some I haven't even had time to read, so hopefully you can tell me whether I was a fool for giving it away. (I was, wasn't I?)
2. I'm too idle to mark which ones are galleys; I hope that doesn't bother you anyway.
3. If you want some books but you just aren't sure what you want... I'll do a consult for you and pick out a few volumes.
4. Free glass of wine if you come by and pick them up yourself. (But be prepared to drink it out of an off-brand Solo cup because my roommates have all the wine glasses.)
5. Donation day is April 29, so make it snappy.

I can't be too greedy here, but if it's me or nothing, I'd love to save/read these books:
Cheryl Strayed, TORCH
Cormac McCarthy, BLOOD MERIDIAN
Jon Krakauer, WHERE MEN WIN GLORY
Michael Moss, SALT SUGAR FAT
Rick Moody, THE ICE STORM
Mohsin Hamid, HOW TO GET FILTHY RICH IN RISING ASIA
Ron Currie Jr, FLIMSY LITTLE PLASTIC MIRACLES
Alexander Soderberg, THE ANDALUCIAN FRIEND
I own the Ira Glass, and Attenberg, but if I missed any others you think I'd like - have at it!
PS - willing to meet you at your place, and perhaps drop off a book of my own.
Any books you take are books I don't have to move myself, so no need to feel greedy! Consider it a mitzvah. I'll be in touch in the next few days.
