I really like this site, according to them you just leave any one of your books on a bench in a mall or a park and let someone else pick it up and read it and then leave it along for someone else and so on and so forth and they post the books journey on their site as each of its member if they happened to locate the book (through the stickers they offer you to place on the book) upload the books whereabouts on their site. Its a real nice idea...if you really think it over, Any members here?

I havent heard of it either, but also wonder how many people will keep the book rather than passing it on. Or if people just pick then up and sell them. Ill still check the site out cause I like the idea.

Shame on anyone who does such a horrible thing. You are taking money from a writer who worked hard on a book. You want to read a free book? Ask for it as a present for you birthday or something. Go to the library. Don't steal the income of a writer!

Sounds very interesting... like the bookworm's geocaching. I almost got into geocaching, but it just wasn't me enough. lol Reading is very me though. I think I might register and see if there's any books in my city. If there aren't then I'd love to pass a few around! Thanks for posting this!

I've not heard of this. It sounds really good. I love to read but books are so expensive and I'm not fond of librarys.... always get late fees. So this sounds like something I want to look into.

This sounds awesome, I never heard of this before. I heard of a site like this for dollar bills, where you just see how far a dollar goes.. but this sounds more interesting with purpose. It really spices up the desire to read. I haven't been reading much literature lately so maybe I will get into this soon.

I will check this out! It's a really interesting activity, which is something I heartily approve of. I love sharing my books.
I always think, it doesn't matter if my beloved book doesn't return to me, as long as it is passed on and many people get to read it. :D
