Books for Soldiers

So Jenine picked up that ball and really ran with it. We've had enough donations to mail several more boxes, and I got a letter yesterday from Brian saying "thanks!". Woo!

He's interested in a lot more serious literature than I thought he was (he's been reading a lot of American history, apparently) but the thrillers and so on that we've been sending have been eagerly gobbled up by his mates. He even included a counterfeit Iraqi banknote! We were all way too excited about that :-)

We just got a call from the secondhand book store that they now have a dolly of books for us, so I think Brian can expect a few more boxes in the near future ... And with any kind of luck, Theresa Nielsen-Hayden sent the box of scifi she was talking about. Speaking of her, check out these great signs.

And judging from this, we'll be sending books for a few more months.

Where to send?

Do you know any general military address that we can send books to?

When the war started, the military requested people do not send things to "general" people, only specific people. I don't know if that's changed.
