BookCrossing

    The practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise.

    The amount of reading we've done (no, gossip blogs don't count) has drastically dropped off since high school English class. Book crossing might be just the thing to get you pro-active about reading again.

    Editorial note: Whoa! You've found a super-old post here on BuzzFeed, from an earlier era of the site. It doesn't really represent where we are anymore, and may in fact be totally broken, but we're leaving it up as a part of our early history.
