Do you share books?

[Steinkar]

When I'm done with a book, I put my name and address in the front cover and pass it to someone else. They, in turn, do the same thing, but pass it to someone outside of our circle of friends. It's fun to think about where the book will end up. One time, I actually received a letter from Australia from the 14th reader of the same book. It was cool! Has anyone else tried this?

Oh, that sounds awesome!

I've always wanted to do something like this, but I can't get rid of a book I really enjoy (I am a certified re-reader ).


Though, if I had the money, I would seriously buy copies of my favorite books to do this with.


Another fun thing I've heard of is leaving it in a public place for someone to find, like a cafe, train station, or airport.

I found this post at the perfect time. I was just thinking about how I would love to share my books as I dont like to see them laying on my shelf, the primary reason I avoid buying books. But I also dont have friends that are readers.
I had never thought of the idea of passing it along to a stranger. This is interesting I would love to do that.
