Have Book, Will Travel

From the Really Keen Concepts department, there’s this: Bookcrossing is a site that encourages “losing” books for others to find. The fun part? You mark your book with an ID number from the site and track its travels. You can also go find books others have left somewhere, and leave reviews on the site. It’s a scavenger hunt and lending library and reading group in one!

“The man is interesting, like him or not, and that’s a rarity in US politics where candidates are as exciting as toothpaste or underarm deodorant, because that’s exactly how they want us to view them, as products, not people. Enter Howard Dean, person.”
