Welcome to The Lost World Read 2009!
You’ve got hold of a book that is part of the UK’s largest reading campaign. We’re celebrating Arthur Conan Doyle’s 150th birthday and Charles Darwin’s bicentenary. This is a specially-commissioned readers guide to Conan Doyle's novel The Lost World and includes information about Doyle, Darwin and Dinosaurs. It does contain spoilers, so it's best to read The Lost World first!
And, welcome to The Lost Book!
The Lost Book is a collaborative adventure in storytelling. It’s taking place online and anyone can join in. At its heart is an animated web series: the adventures of investigative journalist Aileen Adler.
There are loads of ways you can get involved and it won’t cost you anything. You can help us to write the story for the web series. You can join our special guest writer Jasper Fforde to reconstruct a stolen book in our weekly microstory competition. You can enter our soundtrack competition by creating your own music for the web series. You can produce your own animation.
And, you can read this book, tell us what you thought of it, give it away, and follow its journey. So join in, wherever you are, and have fun!

Didn't find this as interesting as it might have been. Although it covered a lot of interesting topics, they were all treated a bit too superficially for my taste. And I kind of felt what it really needed to be of any real use as a readers' guide was some sort of concluding essay bringing all the different aspects together and showing how they combined to make The Lost World what it is. (Or maybe that's just because I spend too much of my time around literary types... :-))

Reserved for the 2009 Bookcrossing Convention.
I picked this up at the convention, and have The Lost World in my possession at the moment so am reading them together.
There are some interesting facts about Darwin and Conan Doyle in here, and I liked the time line at the beginning of the book showing where their lives crossed over.
With Darwin's theories being pretty much accepted today, it is interesting to see how much public outcry they caused in their day.
The discussion points for Conan Doyle's book The Lost World made interesting conversation.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
This book will be placed on a shelf in the snug. The Longstone is a great place for a pint, a pub meal, and to sit in their beer garden on a warm day.
If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.
