Free a book

I'm pasting the following mass mail I received to this very blog. I think this sounds like a pretty cool idea. I'm going to start thinking about what book I'm going to free starting... now!

A "Poetical Happening"

On Sept. 11th, join a "poetical happening" and free a book!

Because a book is a symbol of freedom, sharing and tolerance.

On Sept. 11th, 2003, take a book which is important for you, a book that has changed your vision on the world, write in it a dedication, a few words, an address, or a drawing, and free it! Leave it on a roadside bench, a bus stop or in a cafe making it available for any unknown reader!

In this way Sept. 11th will be not only an anniversary of tragedy. Together let us affect this global sorrow with creative and generous action!

A general mobilization from Bruxelles, Paris, Florence, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Whidbey Island and more! Almost all over the world readers, artists, writers, poets, and publishers of vision and heart will free books that are important for them on Thursday, September 11, 2003.

Get involved and tell your friends! Readers, authors, publishers - free a book!

Because a book is a symbol of freedom, sharing and tolerance!

Note: After I posted this, Lynn wisely mentioned that leaving random books lying around on September 11 might be a bad idea. I wouldn't want anyone thinking my book was a bomb. Maybe I'll free a book in honor of September 11 after September 11.
