I'm choosing this book as my first release because I absolutely adore this story. A nice mix of Tom Robbins and Tolkien and a healthy reminder to find magic in the everyday world. It's right there if you look for it.

This is my first release for Bookcrossing and I left this next to the Herman B Wells memorial statue for numerous reasons. The book takes place in and around a college campus and I'm intimately familiar with IU campus and it's magic. I had the pleasure of meeting him while going to school here in the late 80's. He was very much a magical person in his own right. Also, this particular location is near the top of a hill that stretches down through the Sample Gates and down to the Kirkwood Strip. It was the perfect spot to release a great book. Hope you enjoy!!!

Found it next to Herman :) I work at I.U. and was out for a morning walk. What a wonderful way of sharing. I'll try to get it read ASAP. Maybe it was meant to be that I read this book and laugh a little since I've been so down about getting denied by I.U. for the early retirement plan.

I released Fool on the Hill, by Matt Ruff at the Henderson garage at Indiana University on 11/29/11.
