Extended Profile
The smell of old books makes me feel connected to people and history. There is something about knowing another person devoured the book before me that helps form a sense of home. The older the book, the more stories I envision for the different hands that
have held it. At the same time, there is nothing more satisfying than finding a brand new book on my own, breaking in the spine, and then passing it on. It makes me feel like I am helping to start the process and the connection, for someone else down the line.
That is why bookcrossing appeals to me.
