Okay, I don’t know if this qualifies as a whole new phenomenon, but a new little online movement has begun in which people read books, leave them behind, and then find posts from around the world about the book left behind.
The idea is to “free” books from their owners. It’s a bit like sharing MP3s in the real world, no?
I know, I know. Judge for yourself. I may give it a whirl with a new book I’m reading (more later): BookCrossing.com
