BookCrossing

If you haven't heard about BookCrossing, it's a fascinating venture I recently discovered on the Internet. Basically, you "release your used books into the wild," after logging onto the website and announce the publication information and where the books can be found. It could be a useful promotional tool (release your own book into the wild), but what I hope it will do is help somehow with the falling literacy rate in the U.S. (now below 50%). Last time I checked, books were being released in India, the U.S., the U.K., and all across the globe.
