Share a book with Strangers
bookcrossing: n. the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise.
(added to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary in August 2004)


That's from a fascinating site I just discovered, http://www.bookcrossing.com - The World's Biggest Free Book Club - Catch and Release Used Books. The site explains:Whoever finds the book can contact the site, and you'll be sent an email letting you know where your book has gone.

I'm looking forward to trying it!

We discussed this a couple of years ago here.


Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Yes, and when we discussed it for some stupid reason I joined the site. I kept getting email after email from them, even when I'd click the link for stopping them. I think I am finally rid of them. Sign up only if you're very interested!
