informal English Language Book Exchange?

I messed up when I came to Beijing.... I didn't bring enough books to read.

I'm wondering if there is any kind of informal book exchange in Beijing? aka... I'll give you 1, if you give me 1 in exchange.

I'm not talking about school books... I'm referring to books just for fun.

I've got things like P.K. Dick, R Ludlum, C Cussler, W Gibson, some hardcore math theory (not a schoolbook, I swear), etc that I would be willing to trade for something else. And, then later, trade the new stuff for newer stuff.

Anything like this exist already that I don't know about?

I might enjoy the political history stuff. (Degree in History)

As for "good fiction" ... The PK Dick I have is good. Think of "Do Androids Dream of Sleep" (aka BladeRunner... Thats him.). I have "A Scanner Darkly" on my shelves here. The movie comes out soon I think. I do have some classics as well. Treasure Island, War of the Worlds, etc.

The math book I mentioned is: "E: The story of a number". E is an interesting ummm.... number? Same author wrote "To Infinty and Beyond" which I thought was pretty good too.

Trades, Loans, whatever... I'm easy. Just need something new to read.
