It’s a program where you take a book, leave it somewhere public for someone else to find, they read it, and it gets passed on. I found a book, ‘July’s People’ by Nadine Gordimer, yesterday from this program. It’s actually a really cool idea.
Lol set it down in a church, “I’ll just leave this here…”
And I’ll leave a Dinesh D’Souza book to even things out.
Then you can start bets on how long it takes for the church peoples to burn/eradicate the dawkins book. =P
Nice!
that was sarcasm by the way :P
Seriously, would they be intimidated by that, or something?
No, just morally outraged and indignant.
But Bookcrossings sounds like a great idea! Now, to find a Tamora Pierce book and leave it somewhere…
Moral outrage is how thinking begins.
Won’t 99% of people see the book and think it’s been misplaced, thus ignoring it?
Humans are curious creatures by nature. If it stays in that room for too long eventually curiosity will win.
@ Dr. Alligator: There’s a little thingy on the front that says ‘I’m not lost, I’m on a journey! Pick me up, read me, and release me!’ So that’s not really an issue.
I should leave a copy of Eragon, annotated copiously in red ink by Thor Axegrinder and SwankIvy, in a school library.
Won’t 99% of people see the book and think it’s been misplaced, thus ignoring it?
Naaaah. If it’s me, I think “FREE BOOK!” and grab it.
Paper books are SO last century: now it’s cooler to just “misplace” a pen-drive full of e-books!
Or an exclusive collection of the malware of choice…
Naaaah. If it’s me, I think “FREE BOOK!” and grab it.
Same.

Bookcrossings sounds like so much fun! I should start doing it around school/town/wherever. Maybe I can even get people to read good books, as opposed to gag Twilight.
Oooh, does sound fun! Must plant Alison Weir books…
And Alien, whoot on the Tamora Pierce!
Oooh, would it not be nice to put out the copy of Twilight drowned in red ink and massacred by Captain Ehren fron the Sue Destroyer?
@Dan – that plan is too good not to put it to action
