BookCrossing is the act of passing a book on all over the world. That is, the world becomes a big library. Lovers of the same book can share the book and their ideas about it. You can visit the BookCrossing website and get an ID label(标签) for the book you want to share. After labeling it, you can pass the book on by leaving it in a public place, for example, on a park bench or in a coffee shop. When someone finds your book and is interested in it, he will take it, and then he can visit BookCrossing website and enter the ID of the book to show someone has taken it. So when you go home and check the website, you'll know who is reading it. What's more, you can talk on the website about your book with those people.
Who first started BookCrossing? It was Ron Hornbaker. He thought of the idea in March 2001 and set up the website in April 2001. Now there are more than
1.9 million BookCrossers and over 13 million books traveling in 132 countries.
Do you want your books to get out and touch the lives of others? Try Book Crossing. You will find it fun and exciting to "follow" your books as they travel around the world.
