I was thinking about signing up and giving them away to people on the bus who didn't have books. But I am not sure I could actually talk to people and ask if they wanted a book.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I figure anyone on the bus who doesn't have a book, that's because they get carsick reading on the bus or they don't like to read.
There is a guy on my bus I'm watching read through CJ Cherryh. Right now he's just about to finish Cloud's Rider; I'm intrigued to see what he picks up next.

In Rochester we have a lot of underserved kids on the bus, because there aren't separate school buses for middle and high school. They just get bus passes for the city buses. So I was thinking more of them than the adults, but again, not sure I want to talk to them, because they also tend to be loud and obnoxious at times.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm not good at talking to strangers, so I figured I'd print out why they're getting a free book and why I think it's worth reading and stick it in the book.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had no idea Robert Silverberg had had a thriving vintage sleaze career (NSFW).

I did but Kayo Books focuses on paperback original collectables so they have little zines on the subject. He's not the only science fiction writer that had a side line in porn, either.

Sumi, THANK YOU! I keep meaning to say thank you for pointing out the Deals of the Day, because I would never remember to even check, and I think at least a third of the paid content on my Fire is stuff you've pointed out.

Sumi, I signed up for those e-mails last night, because I remembered you said you got an e-mail alert from Amazon with the daily deal.
