One of my friends told me about a new Web site called Paperspine.com.  The idea is simple:  Choose the books you want to read and Paperspine mails them to you based on availability. You decide which  books you want to receive first by prioritizing them in your book Queue.  It's very similar to Netflix, but I think the idea has potential, especially for city dwellers like me who don't have a library right around the corner.

I hope Paperspine.com does well, especially since they have Apple of My Eye for your reading pleasure!
