“New Campaign, Book Crossing”

Recently, I read an article about “Book Crossing(Free books)”. It said Book Crossing is a 3rd campaign after Free Music and Free Hugs. I don’t know Free Music but I know well about Free Hugs. Last year, Free Hugs was once a very hot issue because hugging a complete stranger was too shocking in our society. At first, many people thought that it was unreal. Contrary to these anticipations, however, it became popular and people loved it as they volunteered for hugging. Free Hugs campaign was satisfactory. Now, following that successful campaign, people started a new campaign “Book Crossing(Free books)”. The way to do Book Crossing is too simple: just leaving behind own book which you read for a stranger. But, every people who do this must remember each book has to have a unique password because that is a connection key for writing the number and releasing a book for next person. And Book Cross have to be done on sunny day because of book’s condition. I think Book Crossing is much better than Free Hugs. Free hugs gave only us a momentary pleasure like just one hugging, But, Free books can give us not only a pleasure for reading and meeting but wide range of knowledge. We can share knowledge as well as love with other people, strangers in the world. I am very impressed with this campaign, Free books. As Free Hugs achieved, I believe that Free Books(Book Crossing) can accomplish it’s purpose: sharing a book with love.
