Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
阅读可以是一种社会活动。想想那些属于读书小组的人。他们选择要读的书,然后见面讨论。现在,BookCrossing.com网站颠覆了传统的书友会理念。
会员在网站上注册他们拥有并想要分享的书籍。BookCrossing提供了一个识别号码,可以贴在书里。然后这个人把书放在一个公共场所,希望这本书能有一次冒险,和每一个找到它的新读者一起远行。
BookCrossing的总经理布鲁斯·佩德森说:“改变你生活的两件事是你遇到的人和你读的书。BookCrossing将两者结合起来。”
会员们把书放在公园长椅上、公共汽车上、火车站和咖啡店里。无论谁找到了他们的书,都要去现场记录他们找到书的地方。
找到一本书的人也可以在日记中描述他们对这本书的看法。然后,电子邮件被发送到BookCrossing,让他们随时了解他们的书在哪里找到了。布鲁斯·彼得森说,这个想法是为了让人们不要自私,把一本书放在家里的书架上积满灰尘。
BookCrossing是人们想要回到“真实”而不是虚拟的一种趋势的一部分。该网站目前在超过135个国家拥有超过100万的会员。
