I have spent some time travelling in Australia and abroad and have often found books to be a rare commodity.
I have often swaped books when I could but more often found myself simply giving good books away as there was no room for books I'd read to be carried around with me.
This is a gratifying practice but I would prefer to trade for one I hadn't read yet.
So that is what has brought me here where I hope to soon learn the ways of bookcrossing. I am now living in one place and have accumulated a collection that needs some weeding. I would much rather release them to the bookcrossing world than let them meet a dusty unread fate. Book liberation seems a noble cause!
