Finished this book today
it was a very quick read since its a short book
some very nice ideas here, and I have made notes of my favorites
I especially liked the one that suggested leaving shopping coupons in the appropriate area of the grocery store next to the item, so that someone can take advantage of the savings
so many times I have coupons I don't use , what a wonderful idea !
gonna put that one into action

This book is now ready to be shared by others, so I am sending it on its way soon, and offering it as a Ray it forward RABCK !

What a wonderful, unlifting book! Here are a few of my favorites:

Write to an old teacher to say thanks.
Fill out "How was the service" cards by remembering a staff member's name and praising them to the heavens
Listen to someone's problem without immediately comparing it to one of your own

Wow! It has been a while since I have picked up a book and finished it in the same sitting, and the same day I received it in the mail! I cute, uplifting book. Ironically, I like some of the same ideas as previous readers. Leaving random coupons, filling out the service cards and listening to someone's problem without immediately comparing it to one of your own (I have a bad habit of doing that.) There is also a random act of kindess in the book that mentions leaving books on planes, trains etc! Thanks for sharing the book with me. I am going to ray it forward to another bookcrosser who signed up in 1lilbookworm's drawing on the forum!

Fun little book that you can read in an hour or so that includes Random Acts of kindness suggestions with a dose of humor. I think this book is destined to become a "hitch-hiker" and hitch a ride with the next bookring that I mail out:)
