    mulligansoup: Bookcrossing is a book sharing thingy that's like a cross between pay-it-forward and that not very popular "Where's George?" dollar bill tracer. The idea is to give away your books when you finish them, but participants put a sticker in the book with a unique identifying number in it and log into the Bookcrossing website (http://www.bookcrossing.com/) to say where they left the book. The person who finds it logs in and claims the book. That is the part of it that I tried. There are other ways people use it -- by having bookcrossing gatherings to exchange books, etc.
