Yip! The box made it to hot & sweaty Houston, Texas. The poor box has been bashed, clanked and banged. It is in pretty bad shapem so I will rebox in a fresh box.
Unfortunately, I already own most of the books in the box, so there wasn't a lot for me to choose from.
I am taking out:
Crime & Punishment by Dostoyevsky
I am adding:
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
I will PM the next in line, get it reboxed, and send it out ASAP.
Thanks so much for including me in your first bookbox!

Oh boy! I got this in the mail today and the box itself is COMPLETELY destroyed. Seriously, I was spilling books right and left on my way out of the post office. It might take me a few days to find a box the right size for this, because I clearly can't reuse this one :)
I'm typing this at work so I will journal it again once I get home and check to see what I will keep. Thanks for including me!

Found this large box outside my door when I got home! Wow! This is great! Can't wait to go through the box and trade out!
The box has officially been shipped to debnance in Texas. Enjoy this wonderful box!
I was sitting on my front porch on this first day of the holiday weekend when the mailtruck drove up. I knew something was up when the mailman put his truck in park and went around to the back and pulled out a bookbox. "It's a little beat up," he told me, and I saw the hole, the gash in the side. Nothing seems to have fallen out, so all is well. I'll be sending this back out on the road Tuesday, hopefully.
Just received the box about a week ago. I can't wait to sort through it and decide what to take. Lots of good choices :)
So I finally sorted through and am planning on sending the box out on Tuesday when I'm off. I just have to get some of the books organized.
I chose:
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
I put in:
Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Sorry for the delay, I was actually out of town for the past two weeks and my mail was on hold. I will move this box along ASAP!
Jan 2012: Life got in the way and I forgot I had this bookbox, I am so sorry! I did not take any and did not add any books, sent to JudySlump612 in MN.

There appear to be some missing journal entries (or maybe I'll find them later). Anyway, the box arrived safely today, postmarked Jan. 10. What a sumptuous journal book, and what a great collection of books!
Sorry for the delay - Murphy's Law kicked in, and THREE book boxes arrived within a single week. But I'm ready to roll now.
Books I'm choosing:
- Moll Flanders, Defoe
- For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway
- The Four Loves, Lewis
- On Beauty, Smith
- Tom Sawyer, Twain
- Age of Innocence, Wharton
Books I'm putting in:
- Sister Carrie, Dreiser
- Dead Souls, Gogol
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Kesey
- Pale Fire, Nabokov
- Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde
- Bonfire of the Vanities, Wolfe
Sailorarby is no longer active, so the box will go to oppem tomorrow.

Since the box I received had obviously earned an honorable retirement, I replaced it with a new one that should be good for several more trips.

This is amazing! I can't wait to really go through this box and trade out some books! I'm not sure who's next, so I'll figure that out and send a PM.
I moved and as I was unpacking, I discovered this box! I am waiting for an address from jsmeltser and otherwise am ready to send it on!
Let's just say it's exciting to hear about this box after nearly 2 years, please?

The box arrived awhile ago and I just keep forgetting to journal it! I was excited to see this guy again, but I have been wild-releasing most of my 1001 books, so I will have to hold on to they box until I have either 1) read a few of the books in it now or 2) read enough of the 1001 books on my shelf to swap some out. As soon as I have it ready to circulate again, I'll post in the forums. In the mean-time, if you're interested in participating in the next round, send me a message and I'll get the list started now. Thanks to everyone who's taken part already, it's great fun watching the box travel and of course, having more books to read!
