We read books for different reasons, be it to laugh, cry, or for a good scare. But every now and then comes a jewel of a book that teaches us something important, and leaves us feeling good. Really good. Let’s share those feelings as much as we can.
The Floating Book Club is a worldwide reading circle getting great books to great people. By reading books and passing them on we save money, we save trees and, best of all, we get to spread lessons and love through the written word.
Rule One: Did you find a Floating Book Club book? Read it, experience it; set it free. Email what you’ve learned, how it made you feel or both to the Google mail address, then watch for your words to appear on this blog. Nothing offensive, please. Include your city and country too, so we can all keep track of how far the book has traveled.
Rule Two: Want to release a book into the wild? Just write the email & blog addresses on the inside cover then leave the book in a place where it’s very likely to be picked up, like a café or park bench. Don’t forget to email your piece, whether you read that book half a lifetime ago, or last week. Everything counts!
the sidenote
Please, please resist every temptation to hang onto a Floating Book Club book. They all have their own personal mission, and were meant to be shared. And, please give generously; every single book can make a difference. By passing good feelings and lessons on, we make the world a better place. One word at a time.
A rainy day, a coffee shop, and the book that got let behind with the simple message for me to read it, enjoy it, and pass it on. I dearly loved the story, but I'm loving the inspiration a lot more. I hope you will, too.
