After getting a book from a mystery person, it got me to thinking about a site I had seen years ago. Bookcrossing. It's where instead of all your old books getting dusty on the shelf, or like me, sitting in a box, all the words there never to be read again, you "release" the book into the "wild"
You leave books at bus stops, coffee shops, etc. for random people to pick up and keep, read, and then set the book free again. You can track the books if you want to see their journey.
Sure, some books will not be taken, and there will be loss, and never let this stop you from donating used books to charity, but this is a really cool thing!
