It is kind of like <a href=\"http:\/\/wheresgeorge.com\/\">Where&#8217;s George<\/a> for books.  The idea is that you enter a book into their system and label the book with the BCID (BookCrossing ID number). Then give it to a friend, or leave it in a coffeeshop, or donate it to a charity.  When someone finds the book they are supposed to go to the web site and make an entry that they found the book.  One page I found interesting was their status page, which lists books that have been recently released or caught, and some other stats. My favorite is most travelled books:<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<ol>\n<p \/>\n<li>The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde<\/li>\n<p \/>\n<li>The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry<\/li>\n<p \/>\n<li>The Paradigm of Uncertainty by Lori<\/li>\n<p \/>\n<li>Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery<\/li>\n<p \/>\n<li>The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving<\/li>\n<p \/><\/ol>\n<p \/>\n<p>Personally I&#8217;d have a somewhat difficult time doing this because I don&#8217;t like giving away books I&#8217;ve read.  Well, unless they sucked, in which case I don&#8217;t care too much.  I should look around my apartment and see if anything qualifies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one comes from a mailing list I&#8217;m on. BookCrossing.com.
