LE BOOKCROSSING WWW.BOOKCROSSING.COM
To practice this sport in Nîmes or (almost) all around the world, simply deposit a book in a public place, hoping it will be found, read and then released after having been "reported" on the Site. Created in 2001 by Ron Hornbaker, the site keeps track of the books of the book and thus offers successive discoverers and readers the opportunity to comment on it and to link knowledge through countries forums. Thus, the small community of nîmois nîmois leaves regularly forums and keyboards for meet-up, non-virtual meetings at the restaurant or in bars. The book as a means of meeting? Not bad! The bookcrosser may also "release" a book in a public place by hiding it; only the site's regulars will know the cache. There is also bookring, for the most careful: the persons interested in the work register to receive it by mail and form a chain so that the work, once passed in all hands, returns to sender. Excellent all this, but I wonder: bookcrossing, bookcrosser, bookring, book? We talk about French literature, tell me?
