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。想想那些属于图书小组的人。他们选择书籍阅读,然后见面讨论。现在,BookCrossing.com网站颠覆了图书集团的传统理念。
会员在网站上注册他们拥有并想分享的书籍。BookCrossing提供了一个识别号,可以粘贴在书中。然后,这个人把它放在一个公共场所,希望这本书能有一次冒险,与每一个新发现它的读者一起远行。
BookCrossing的董事总经理Bruce Pederson说:“改变你生活的两件事是你遇到的人和你读到的书。BookCrossing将两者结合在一起。”
会员们把书放在公园长椅、公交车、火车站和咖啡店。无论谁找到了他们的书,都会去网站记录他们在哪里找到的。
找到一本书的人也可以留下日记,描述他们对这本书的看法。然后,电子邮件会被发送到BookCrossing,让他们了解他们的书在哪里被找到的最新情况。布鲁斯·彼得森说,这个想法是为了让人们不要自私,把书放在家里的书架上积灰。
BookCrossing是那些想回到“真实”而非虚拟世界的人中一种趋势的一部分(虚拟). 该网站目前在135多个国家拥有100多万会员。
