I have this vision of my old, doddering self roaming around my book shelves and picking up previously read books to read again!

What I mean is, no one gives away a book that I consider good (the first Harry Potter, Pullman's "The Golden Compass"). Besides, you and I are the exceptions. Most people do not give away good books. <br /><br />Gnute,<br /><br />I've this strange feeling that you would never see them again. But let us know (via this blog) when you do, that should be an interesing social experiment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-65114129798810707682009-04-20T15:24:00.000+08:002009-04-20T15:24:00.000+08:00I'm gonna attempt to start bookcrossing right here...I'm gonna attempt to start bookcrossing right here in little Zhangjiagang, China.
