Bookcrossing, The coolest thing. Ever.

[PhoenixAzul]

Seriously, I think this is the neatest thing I've ever come across. I was reading one of my other boards, and someone posted about a book they came across in a washroom. Inside it was a tag saying that the book wasn't lost, and to take it with them and report its finding on http://www.bookcrossing.com/home. Its pretty cool, you can track where the book has been around the world! I'm going to release one of my books that I don't want to take home tomorrow...I suggest the rest of you do the same! We've all got books/magazines that are just taking up space and collecting dust, so create an account, put a tag in there, and set those puppies free!

You can also see where people have released them in your area, and track 'em down if you're so inclined.

This is really a cute idea. This makes me want to go look for the books in my area now, lol.

I may have to leave some around when I go travelling this summer. What a fun idea.

Oh this is awesome. I have so many books that I've read and now are just collecting dust (since I don't really like re-reading books). They're all in great condition, and it would seem a shame to get just toss them out. It'll be great knowing that other people will be able to get a chance to enjoy these books.

I tried this with a Book about N C State, the Chapter of LXA.

I sent it to Brothers asking that it be signed by them and their Chapter letters.

It went well until A Brother did not send it on or back and He has disapeared!

Dont do this with a book that is important to You!

My sister (a librarian) and I have been doing this for years. She lives in a much more active Book Crossing area than I do, but I have come across books when I was traveling in Australia.
