For those of you who aren't familiar with bookcrossing.com, here's their own description of themselves: BookCrossing is earth-friendly, and gives you a way to share your books, clear your shelves, and conserve precious resources at the same time. Through our own unique method of recycling reads, BookCrossers give life to books. BookCrossing books are not stagnant dust collectors, but living entities travelling the world as true BookCrossing emmisaries. Our books find new readers and introduce them to the wonders of BookCrossing. You can register the books you want to release on their site and, through an ID number, you can track where your book has gone and who has read it (assuming the finder takes time to journal your book). On one of their forums, they asked: Where's the strangest place you've released a book? I found the following reply: Re: Where's the strangest place you've released a book? Since we live in and travel the USA by Motor home, we leave books in RV parks and at tourist locations all over the country. Oddest place may be at caves. I'm hoping they mean commercial caves and not in the caves themselves. I mean euw-w-w-w! It'd be a soggy mess by the time somebody found it to say nothing of what it might do to the ecosystem. But I applaud their ingenuity! How 'bout that, Quinta? Ever leave one at a cave? Louise (aka, Banjozmom)
