I got away from BookCrossing.com for a while.  With all the travel, packing books just to give away was problematic.  My study at home reflects this, as paperbacks and non-fiction books I've purchased to read on airplanes begin to stack up.  So, I've returned to the BookCrossing fold, releasing a book yesterday (Boehlert's Bloggers on the Bus), and another this morning, Stross' The Jenifer Morgue.

BookCrossing is really simple.  Once you register yourself on the site, you then register the books you own.  Each book you put into the system gets and ID number.  When you want to give that book away, you "release" it by writing up where you put it and such.  The theory is that whomever picks it up will see your note or the label you've put in the front of the book, go to bookcrossing.com, and note that they picked that book up.

Bookcrossing has never been a big deal in NOLA outside the University section of Uptown.  I mean to change that.
