How it works:

Make a journal entry when you receive the book and when you send it please, so we can keep track of where the book is going. If you want to make some comments about it, feel free to!

What book had the biggest influence on you ?
Which did you love the most ? Why ?

This journal is will be the place to discuss your favorite book(s) of all time

You can comment on more than one book, if you can’t choose only one. But just make sure that you limit your writing to 4 pages (both sides), so that everyone can write something. This is really important!!

Once completed, this journal will make another round so that every participant have a chance to read it completly (I’ll get in touch with everyone to check if you want to read it or not). I expect the comments to be in english so that everyone can read them but if you want to translate your entry in another language, you can too. It’s always fun this read another language!

Journal Entry 7 by maddymonkey from Minneapolis, Minnesota USA on Tuesday, September 02, 2003

Received on 30 August. I spent the whole, long, Labor Day weekend going, "I know, I'll write about ... no," "Wait, how about ...? No." I should decide on something some time in the next century, for sure. 

Journal Entry 8 by maddymonkey from Minneapolis, Minnesota USA on Monday, September 08, 2003

This was fun! -- once I stopped second-guessing myself about what to write, of course. Posted to Lyssian in the far south suburbs on 8 September. 

Journal Entry 9 by Lyssian from Frankfort, Illinois USA on Tuesday, September 09, 2003

Thanks, Maddymonkey! My day was awful until this showed up! I can't wait to get writing, but I love so many books, I don't know where to start. I'll get on it as soon as I have a long evening to write and as little stress as possible. Looking forward to reading what everyone else writes on the second run!

Journal Entry 27 by kestralwing from Bellingham, Washington USA on Wednesday, November 10, 2004

Just got this in the mail today -- in a totally wonderful, decorated envelope, with two small French candies and a wonderful stick of incense! Thank you -- tomorrow is my birthday and I won't be able to see my daughter (too far away, across the country). I was feeling a bit blue, but this was such a nice surprise I couldn't help but laugh.

It will be at least week until I can add my entry, but I'll get it back to PokPok as quickly as possible. 

Journal Entry 28 by PokPok from Vista, California USA on Monday, November 29, 2004

My wonderful journal made it home: a VERY BIG thank you to all who participated and passed it on. I think what I will do, is slowly put the entries into a Word document, which I can pass on to those who are interested. This won't capture the flavor of those of you who did special artistic entries, but I am uneasy about sending this on another year and a half journey, without being lost.

If anyone is interested in anything on my AVL list, feel free to take a look. I appreciate you keeping this journal going.
