What is PaperBackSwap? PaperBackSwap is a free online book exchange service. You sign up there and list nine books that you’re willing to send out in the mail to anyone (just list nine books you have that you probably won’t read again and you’d probably end up taking to a used book store or something eventually). Once you’ve listed nine books, the site gives you three credits. – The Simple Dollar

During these economic times, I think all of us are interested in saving some cash. The Simple Dollar is one of my most recent additions to my rss feed. I like what I’ve seen so far, including this review of the Readers Digest Penny Pincher’s Almanac.

Here is the premise of the book in Clark’s own words:

“Adolescents have been cut off for far too long from the adults who have the power and experience to escort them in the greater society.  Adolescents have been abandoned.  They have, therefore, created their own world, a world that is designed to protect them from the destructive forces and wiles of the adult community.  May this [book] open your eyes to the world beneath.”

Anyway, it’s a great book about society and adolescents and how we can help.  Most of you reading this are already helping adolescents in amazing ways, but this book will give you greater understanding into the world and culture of the teens we care so much about!
