BookCrossing is a worldwide movement to share books with strangers and friends. Please take this book, read it, and keep it as long as you like. When you're ready, pass it on.

Now that you've visited the BookCrossing web site, we hope that you'll add a journal entry. We'd love to know how you came across this book, whether you enjoyed reading it, and how you plan to pass it along to the next reader.

I want to turn this old phone box into a Little Free Library. (Please see http://littlefreelibrary.org/ for more info about what this entails.)

This would really enhance our neighborhood's community book-sharing.

Would you like to help by building shelves and doors for it, to protect the books from rain and snow?

Civil Disobedience is an essay in which Thoreau says, "I got arrested and put in jail, and I was doing the right thing. Everyone else in Massachusetts was wrong." He seems to be right about that. The way he says it, though, is hilarious if you're attuned to his sense of humor.
