I have some English-language titles, all in excellent condition, that I'd be interested in exchanging (for either English or Spanish books.) They are:

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck

Empire Falls by Richard Russo

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham

Let me know if any of these tickle your fancy...

Can I have The unbearable lightness of being please?
I have titles such as: Great expectations - Dickens
The good wife - Elizabeth Buchan
El Ulises - Joyce (in Spanish)
Ecce hommo - Nietzsche (in Spanish)
.............
Send me a PM please if you fancy any of these.

Cheers!

Bairesgirl : Am interested in "Dreaming in Code"

my collection here is a bit limited as I read mostly on e-books, but I do have a copy of "1421: The Year China Discovered the World" by Gavin Menzies in good condition.

Otherwise could buy it from you?
