edited to add: i've got one winner, i'll take two more.

This is the neatest pay-it-forward holiday idea and I wanted to participate. I bet many of y'all would have fun with this.

May I choose a book for someone?

I shall be the not-so-secret Santa for (at least) the first person to respond to this post who is not already on my personal gift list.

You:

* Haven't yet met me in person.
* Like to read, or at least can stand it.
* Don't mind giving your real name and address to a stranger (me) when I give you my email address
* Will carry this forward.

I:

* Am your not-so-secret Santa.
* Will reply back to the first qualifying comment & I will be asking you to send me your mailing address via my email.
* Will study your Interests list, and decide on a book to send to you for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Giftmas, Yule, Solstice, whatever you like. The book might be a used book. It might be a book you already have (but I'm going to try not to send a common one).
* Will mail the book sometime so you will get it soonish (depending on how long it takes in the mail).

You:

* Carry it forward (do the same thing for someone on your friends list, or someone in real life).
