Title: Book Crossing
Post by: Mr ChriZ on December 30, 2006, 01:10:15 pm
I'm quite a big reader.

When my Africa trip was coming to an end in Cape town
I stayed in a Backpackers.  They had a library there
so I did a book swap, picking up a Wilbur Smith book
- A Falcon Flies.

When I opened the front cover I found someone had written in it
"Check out www.bookcrossing.com to trace this books
journey around the world!"
Along with an id identifying the book.

So anyhow I've finally got round to going to the website.
Thought it quite a cool idea, you can track where a books
been!

Also gives you the idea that rather than sitting gathering dust on the shelf,
books should be out there, being read =)

So far the book i've got has been to Zambia,
Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and finally here to Wales!
