Netflix

I love the idea of Netflix. Sign up, pay a monthly fee, choose up to three movies you want to watch, get them in the mail, keep them as long as you want, and when you return them, you get to order three more. A request from Kevin has got me thinking: why not a similar idea for books? Give me as many books as I can read in a month for about $20 a month and I’d sign up. (The library doesn’t have a lot of the books I’d like to read, and there is that pesky issue of due dates.)
