I came upon your blog today when surfing, and saw you mentioned this book, Living Well Without A Car. I bought this book over a year ago, and as I read it, I thought, “I think I can be car-free.” I only used my vehicle on the weekends, so it wouldn’t be much different. I ended up donating my car due to a car donation program that the local bike association (Washington Area Bicyclist Association) offered, and in return, I received a FREE LIFETIME membership with Zipcar. I thought it was too good of a deal to pass up! Here it is over a year later, and I’ve been fine without a car – riding my bike, using the subway, Zipcar, and other modes of transportation, to get around. I’ve saved over $2,000 in my savings account. I think in a lot of metropolitan areas, people can go car-free – and I hope they do. This book is a GREAT book and gives a TON of ideas of how you can be car-free.

Lizzylou: If you make the pilgrimage to Powell’s main store be sure to give yourself enough time to explore the store. It’s a fun place.

As a librarian, Powell’s is sort of like my Mecca. Needless to say, I have not yet made my pilgrimage (except for the tiny Powell’s in the Portland, OR airport terminal). Fortunately though, Barnes and Noble is only 7 miles down the road. Looks like a good book though, I’ll have to check it out.

I will post my thoughts on the book once I have read a significant portion if not all of the book.

Looks interesting. Any chance of a review in a few weeks?
