I got this idea from reading through 52books for recommendations.
The basic setup: you bring books to trade, other people bring books to trade - you engage in said trade and everyone ends up with new books to read. Also there should be booze involved. And probably cookies.
Anyone down?

Barbarella is a fictional heroine in the French science fiction comic book created by Jean-Claude Forest. He created the character for serialisation in the French magazine V-Magazine in spring 1962, and in 1964 Eric Losfeld later published these strips as a stand-alone book, under the title Barbarella. The stand-alone version caused a scandal and became known as the first “adult” comic-book, despite its eroticism being slight and the existence of the Tijuana bibles well before this date. Its traditional editor, however, contrasted with its subject matter, anticipating as it did the sexual revolution.
Barbarella is a young woman who travels from planet to planet and has numerous adventures, often involving sex (the aliens she meets often seduce her, and she also experiments with a “machine excessive” or “orgasmotron”). The original comic book version of Barbarella was probably modeled on Brigitte Bardot, who was once married to the director of the 1968 film, Roger Vadim; Jane Fonda appeared in the film’s title role. For her creator, the character embodied the modern woman in the era of sexual liberation.
