I've already had Christy & Tom sort through my science fiction, and I've set aside a GKChesterton that was previously promised.
I don't have my complete list yet, but if anyone is interested in any of the following authors, give me a heads-up here. You can have the books for the price of postage (and if you are a starving student, I probably could be persuaded to chip in on postage, too).
Whatever doesn't find a home here will find one at Goodwill. I'll update with a more complete list this weekend, including ID on edition #s.
-----
-Tolkien -OSC -Laurel K Hamilton -Margaret Atwood -JK Rowling -Marion Zimmer Bradley -Octavia Butler (but Noemon would have first dibs on these) -Sci-fi short story collections (various authors) -Cordwainer Smith -Vegetarian/natural foods cookbooks -Feminist literature (e.g., Letters to Ms Magazine, hardcover copy) -Sheri Tepper -Walt Wangerin -Charles DeLint
And a whole lot more that I cannot remember.
------------------
Edited to add:
-medical learning resources (first dibs to any nursing, osteopathic, or medical students) -philosophy texts (classic references, current topics, and/or teaching materials) -political history (mainly US, e.g., The Founding Brothers)
-old paperback editions of Heinlein -early paperback Star Trek novels -Asimov (fiction and non-fiction) -Lois McMaster Bujold (first dibs to Tatiana, though) -Children's books (some classics, many recent that have to do with going to the doctor, potty-training, or other developmental steps) -Year's Best in Fantasy and Horror (large paperbacks, 3? editions)

erosomniac, you will have first refusal on all OSC. Same for Dagonee and the cookbooks.
I'm paring down my life to achieve a more stark simplicity, which means getting rid of scores of boxes of books. Many are already gone. I'm hoping that this will encourage me to focus more on the ones I really really really love and really want to read (or reread) -- which is limited to one small box.
The displaced energy that returns to my soul with shedding my possessions may well send me into orbit. I'm on a let-it-go high.

I'm interested in Margaret Atwood, the Sci-Fi short stories, and/or Feminist stuff. And will happily pay for shipping, in cash or chocolate.

Yes, I'll list them out this weekend. Also craft books (knitting, crocheting, origami, drying flowers, etc.) and Shakespeare/Beckett/other plays.
Adding all this to 1st post.

Also, sometime in the next month I'll be clearing out a storage unit in Peoria, Illinois (don't ask ), and there are 30+ boxes of books there. If they are still in usable condition, I'll do another iteration of this.

What philosophy have you got? Any teaching materials or anything on philosophy of religion, ethics or philosophy of mind would be very cool.

By the way, if you want to offer up either that Maureen McHugh collection or the William Sanders collection, feel free to do so without fear of hurt feelings on my part; I wanted you to have the opportunity to read them, but I understand that you're paring down.
Thanks for the offer on Butler's stuff, by the way. Virtually my entire collection of her stuff is falling apart from repeated rereading, so I could definitely use new copies of a lot of it.

- 3rd (4th?) on any OSC - JK Rowling - I'm missing some of those, but I have books 1, 5, 6 - Octavia Butler (after Noem, et al. ) - Sci-fi short story collections - please!
I'd also like any books you have on knitting, crocheting, and especially origami. My daughter would love them.
And I'm MORE than happy to pay for shipping!

-Margaret Atwood -JK Rowling -Sci-fi short story collections (various authors) -Vegetarian/natural foods cookbooks
I haven't read any Harry Potter, but apparently I need to because all the kids read it(and the holds on them at the library are CRAZY!). I'm always interested in any sci-fi short story collections. Margaret Atwood just sounds interesting to me. I'm also always interested in vegetarian/vegan cookbooks (hopefully you have favorite recipes marked!).
I live in an intentional community so the books will be shared with others after I read them.

Fledgling, I assume? It's a very good book, although she doesn't really go beyond her other books in terms of her explorations of the common Butler ideas. I find myself wishing that she hadn't gotten writer's block with the third Parable book; I suspect that she'd have broken new ground with it. Or maybe, you know, not.
In any case, if you're offering up Fledgling it's Kasie H's if she wants it.
Taking Sides and Cuttin' the Body Loose both look like interesting reads, if you decide to part with them.

Do you happen to have any of Dozois' Year's Best anthologies? If so, and if others haven't already laid claim to them, I may be interested; I'm trying to complete my collection of them.

Noted, JonnyNotSoBravo. I donate postage costs to intentional communities, regardless. (Part of the deal, so no backtalk.)
Noemon, I don't know for sure whether I do, but if so, they'd be in Peoria.
Adding: -old paperback editions of Heinlein -early paperback Star Trek novels -Asimov (fiction and non-fiction) -Lois McMaster Bujold (first dibs to Tatiana, though) -Children's books (some classics, many recent that have to do with going to the doctor, potty-training, or other developmental steps) -Year's Best in Fantasy and Horror (large paperbacks, 3? editions) <---[assuming Noemon wanted Year's Best for sci-fi]

I'll take anything that hasn't been spoken for, that you think my homeschool library could benefit from. Anything I can't use I'll donate to the other families in my support group.
edit: and child development stuff would be great...Boo is just getting ready to potty train...
edit2: and I LOVE Asimov...I only have Robot Dreams.

Are they edited by Dozois? If so I'd be interested in them (if others aren't), but yeah, it is his SF anthologies that I'm trying to get a complete set of.

I would love to get ahold of some of those Asimov fiction, that would be great.
Also, I've been hearing some good things about Heinlein, so I would love an oportunity to check that out.
And, If I'm not being to greedy, if Hart's Hope is in your collection and there were an act of god and no one else wanted it, I would be willing to do some pretty gross stuff to get it.

I missed the bit where you said that you were going to be hanging on to the McHugh and Sanders books, CT. Glad to hear that they were interesting enough/looked like they'd be interesting enough to take with you.

If you don't mind me slightly hijacking your thread, CT, I also have a few OSC books that I have duplicates of and have been looking to unload. I'd be more than happy to give up my paperback copies of Songmaster, Memory of Earth, Call of Earth, and Homebody if anyone is interested. If there are any serious collectors out there, I also have three old analog magazines from the 70's with OSC stories in them I'd be glad to give up. (Not the one with Ender's game in it, though)

I'll take any of those three that no one else has claimed.

Was the Rowling called? I don't have 2 or three (or 4 hard cover). Hard or soft cover is fine with me, I'm just trying to collect YA and childrens lit for my future classroom.
Edit to add: Of the other authors I'm familiar with I don't think any of those books really would be appropriate (we're talking less than 6th grade here) but if they are let me know.

Dibs on any Charles de Lint that Spray doesn't want and Noemon doesn't want!
Also, the Cordwainer Smith I have to call dibs on even though it's for my boyfriend and while I should be using that as an incentive for him to post more on Hatack and call it himself, I am feeling nice today.
EDIT: You live in WI? I will have a car this summer and can literally pick them or whatever I can claim from the next installment up so don't worry about postage.

What kind of medical stuff do you have, CT? I do peds, ob, and neonatal. I love technical books.

I want any Asimov left over, especially his non-ficion stuff, I already have the foundation series, and I'm not particularily interested in robot series.
Now Can I have dibbs on the Worthing Saga, thats the one with that civilization type game in it right? That or Alvin maker whichever was it.

Yeah, you're right, I would post more on Hatrack if it meant not having to pay $2.95 for books by Cordwainer Smith! :-)
I'd ask about the collections, but I'm sure they're already spoken for and there's no guarantee I don't have them already.
The Rorty book, though, I'd be interested in. In five years of judging debate I heard people read quotations from Rorty time and again but never sat down and read the whole thing myself.

Depending on which ones you have I'd be interested in the Laurell K Hamilton, if no one else has asked.

Marion Zimmer Bradley and old Heinlein books and some craft books for me, please.
Oh, and I've got The Memory of Earth but not the others in that series, Jeni, if you haven't found anyone interested in your duplicates.
