A website all about this is BookCrossing.com. You enter in a book, mark it with a number and the website, and when someone finds it they write a short entry saying where they found it and where it’s going now.
It’s great fun, especially watching a book trip from one continent to another!
Don’t get me wrong, I wiped out hugely—apparently those big potholes didn’t use to be on that hill, and we sure couldn’t see them from the top, but hey, I was high on success and feeling adventurous, and I CAN FINALLY BIKE TO CLASS! That’ll give me back a good hour or so every day. I’m THRILLED.
Seriously, keep at it; one day you’ll just GET IT, and it’ll all fall into place. And then you’ll fall over and be covered in bruises, but bruises of EXHILARATION. That’s right.
