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.

Catch #79!
This journal entry in my inbox caught *me* completely by surprise. I gave "George's Marvelous Medicine," by Roald Dahl, to Nephew No. 2 to read and enjoy a few months ago. A few weeks later, my sister told me that he had won the exact same book in some sort of contest, so he was very excited to be able to release this book and see where it went. They must have released it at the library in Scott Township, because that's where libsgal6, from Bridgeville, Pa., encountered it. "Roald Dahl is always a marvelous treat!" she writes. "Found this book sitting outside of the library and went to return it on my way to work. Lovely read on a rainy night, hope the next time it finds a child." Thanks for the group effort, all. Happy travels, George!
