You probably have some books you don’t need. And there are probably some books you don’t have. So why not check out the Chicago Reader’s Book Swap on April 22.
Iris will be featured at the event. We’ll be raffling off a few seats to our speed reading classes, and you’ll get a bookmark with any book that you find (because you can never have enough bookmarks now, can you?).
Bring your books! Take some books! Meet other people that love reading books!
Steve Jobs definitely knows how to put on a show. Apple unveiled their newest creation, the iPad yesterday. Aside from being a very nicely designed tablet computer, Apple’s iPad will also serve as an e-book reader.

Know of any other cool websites for readers? Let us all know by commenting on this post.
