Does anyone know the thing where you leave books in public for others to find and read, then when they finish, THEY leave it in public, and so on? EDIT: nevermind, i found it. www.bookcrossing.com
Book Crossing is a crazy thing. I found a book with a number in it in Ireland, and didn't come across book crossing until a year later. It's neat to see the book travel.
There's a coffee shop in a suburb of Ottawa that has a book rack... you can take a book, take it home and read it, and bring it back. There's no sign out or anything. There are a lot of people who just donate books too.
