Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.
It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.
What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.
My then girlfriend was spending a summer in Portland. Just before she left, she handed me a box of about twenty hardback novels all by the same author, one Sir Terry Pratchett.
A couple days after she’d flown out, I grabbed a random book from the pile and began reading. By the time she returned, I’d read the entire box.
So I married her. 😁

I have looked it up here, those novels look awesome. I will try to get some of them for sure. I didn’t know about Discworld, but to start a series about a planet in a turtle’s back, Pratchett must have great stories to tell. XD
I highly recommend them. There’s a lot of them, but unlike many other long-running series, you can pretty much read the Discworld books in any order. It helps to read them in rough publishing order, but it isn’t required
