Where is my book?

If traveling light is as much an obsession to you as it is to me but you never depart home without loading your bag with a minimum of  three books to survive that never-ending transatlantic flight, I have got the perfect solution for easing your "schlepping" experience and starting an exciting book hunt: bookcrossing.com. Next time you arrive jet-lagged and bleary eyed at JFK airport, lighten your baggage on the spot and set your read books free to be picked up by the next reader. But not without registering it beforehand at "bookcrossing.com" and labeling it so that you will later be able to follow the adventures of your "message in the bottle". Ron Hornbaker from Lake Winnebago, Missouri designed and launched this website in 2001 which today has 400'000+ members and over 2m books registered, a seemingly happy community of bookworms all asking the question: "where is my book"? The "raison-d'etre" and philosophy of this fun site is best described by its authors below. Why then "schlepping" your books around once you have finished reading them? Start Bookcrossing today! And who knows, if you are lucky you might pick up another "abandoned" BookCrossing specie in the arrival lounge at JFK.....
