Yup, You read that right. The United States of America now has a National Bookstore Day.

There used to be a time (not too long ago) were having a day named after you or after a particular purpose actually meant something (eg: Martin Luther King Day, Veterans Day, etc…).These days of meaning seem to have seen their last light of day.

It seems as if every day is some sort of obscure day, or every week is some sort of week or every month is some sort of month.

Its at a point where its starting to get annoying. I mean, seriously. Give a dude a chance. I’m still trying to get leave to celebrate Chinchilla day.

I digress.. back to books. I love them. I love to sit down and have a nice read. You know actually thumb through the pages of a real book instead of scrolling through pages on a monitor.

Books are expensive to keep buying and once you have bought a book, how many times do you really read it? I have a bunch of books and at most i’ve read a book 2 times. Renting is totally the way to go.

I wrote about a cool new startup called Rentalic a little while ago. Well this is perfect. People with a whole bunch of books can list their entire library out on Rentalic and rent them out to other users.

To visit Rentlic go to www.rentalic.com

We need a national rent your books out day!

    '…Curiosity killed the cat…' It’s a good thing I’m not a cat. If I were to akin myself to a representative of the animal kingdom a monkey would be more my type :-)
