This release was a long time coming. "Long Way Round: Chasing Shadows Across the World," by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, has travelled a long way in the back of my car for the last eight months or so. I knew I wanted to release it at a motorcycle shop, but I finished reading it while winter was still rearing its ugly head, and then one thing or another--such as over-anxious salesmen who meet you at the sidewalk and prevent you from just leaving a book in a plant, on a bench, or in the window--kept me from sending Ewan and Charley on their next adventure. This blog follows my adventures in BookCrossing--the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise. It is a fascinating exercise in fate, karma, or whatever you want to call the chain of events that can occur between two or more lives and one piece of literature.
