Virtue: SharingThis post isn't exactly about a book. It's about a website about books. I have just discovered a site called www.bookcrossing.com dedicated to the sharing of books. Members can register books on the site to generate a tracking number which to be printed on a label for the book. The book is then "released into the wild" by giving it away to a friend or leaving it in a random place for a stranger to find. As the books pass from person to person their travels can be logged on the site.
The site claims to have more than 6,590,000 books registered by more than 887,000 members. More are being added everyday from all over the world. Would you like to go hunting for books in your town? Is there a book on your shelf you'd like to release into the wild?
