http://www.bookcrossing.com is a site where the members set books ’’free’’ into the wild for other people to find, read and pass on to others.

It is an absolutely fantastic idea and I loved it! India has about 1700 odd members, but only 11 books in the wild as of last night. I wonder why? Do we hesitate to share our books - just give them away, half sure that whoever finds it will either a) take it home and keep it for themselves b) take it to the raddi-wallah and get some money for some peanuts c) Can’t resist anything free?

Please, please take a look at the site. If you like it enough like I did, go ahead and register as a member - it’s free, of course! And remember to refer my id, it’s wordsworth1612 . It’s such great fun. I’ve let loose a few books into the Mumbai wilderness already. Who knows, maybe you might find one soon?!
