Read all about it

Are you still wondering what the "Omnivore's Dilemma" is and if you're suffering from it?

When summer blockbuster movies come out and everyone says "Wow, that just wasn't as good as the book," do you fake it? Or sheepishly admit you missed that novel too?

BookMooch makes it easy to hit the pages and do a little creative recycling and reusing at the same time. Best of all, the service is free.

Sign up with this nifty site, list books growing dusty on your shelves, and swap them for books you want to read with other folks online. No money exchanges hands, only books.

The re-reading has been going on since August 2006 with nary a hitch. Wondering how it all started? Find out in this interview with founder John Buckman on Yahoo! Picks Profiles.
