FREE BOOKS: Giving away my books

It's the new year, and that means I sort of cleaned my room.  Instead of throwing away my treasured books, I thought it would be much much better to give them away. I can meet up with you, if I know you personally and you're just within reach.  Or you can have them shipped. YOU have to shoulder the shipping cost though. 

Description of books

The books are not new, but they're all readable copies. Some have folds on the cover or have yellowed pages. Some of them I bought at used book bookstores. If you need a more detailed description of a particular book, just ask.  If you need a summary of the stories, Google is your friend. By the way, all the titles below (regardless of genre) are for people 18 years old and above only. Please make sure that you are at least 18 years old.
