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.

Wild Release #594
This copy of "The Lost World," by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has already done some travelling. It came to my by way of Scotland and England as part of The Lost World Read 2009, which celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin with a mass-read of the classic adventure story "The Lost World." I had hoped to release it in Alabama, but didn't have the opportunity, so it travelled with me from Pennsylvania to Michigan to Alabama and back. Today it began the latest leg of its journey. I released it at Martin's Flowers & Shrubs in Belle Vernon, Pa., in one of the greenhouses with the jungle-like ferns. Happy travels!
