BAFAB: Buy a Friend a Book

BAFAB week is upon us again. Debra Hamel created this holiday in July of 2005. I have never met Ms. Hamel, but she is obviously some sort of genius. Yet, participation is easy. Buy a book (preferably one that will either encourage avid readers to continue their insane pursuit of the perfect sentence, or one that will entice new readers to take up the habit) for a friend. You are not buying it for the person's birthday or for any other reason except to infest the rest of this world with book smarts. If you want more information about BAFAB or need ideas on books to give, check out their website.

Hey Jared and Jen. I saw your comment about a homebrew saturday coming up. I have some Santa Andy Amber ale that needs to be consumed. If you all are still planning an event hit me up at andrew79@gmail.com

BAFAB! What an idea! Better yet, why not recycle your old books by passing some (preferably the better ones) to friends? Keeps the idea, and avoid the (sales) tax man.
