BONUS POST: The Reading Project
Greetings everyone!
I saw an article this morning that I just had to share!
An artist named Shaheryar Malik has launched an experiment in New York City called: The Reading Project.
He's left hundreds of books stacked all over the city! Inside of each book is a bookmark with his email address, asking the readers to email him which book they read, what they liked about it, and where they are from.
He's already received responses from multiple countries, simply by donating his book collection to the world. What a fabulous idea! It's almost like the Little Free Library movement, only with an added social component.
You can read in his own words how he came up with the idea, and find out more general information on his website: http://www.madebysherry.com/readingproject/
The original article that drew me to this awesome experiment can be found at the Huffington Post: HuffPost Article: Reading Project
Has anyone else ever come across a random book or books left out in the open? If you have, what book was it and did you take it home?
