I borrowed this idea (and even most of the words below) from SAMME - thanks Sam:
BOOKS FOR PEACE PROJECT
I know this is already being done but a good idea should be copied by everybody. This is another project I would like to do. The idea is I will leave a book of mine that I already read in a public place for somebody else to pick up. I will paste a label inside the book that says “this book has been left here for anybody to pick up and read. After reading it please leave it again in a public place.” Now I will include zaadz.com & a note about signing up, as well as my zaadz address on that label asking them to go to my zaadz profile page, click on the “BOOKS FOR PEACE PROJECT” on the profile page which will lead them here to this blog entry. And here they can make comments about the book and in time other people who pick up the book will be posting. It's also a good marketing idea to get people to discover zaadz albeit slowly and not only that it might inspire them to do other ideas that will benefit their community and the world. Here is a sample of a notice that I will make to print and paste in the inside page of the book.
Namaste! I left this book here for anybody to pick up and read. Feel free to take it with you if you like the book and read. When you finished reading the book let me know what your thoughts are about it by going to this internet page, sign up at www.zaadz.com and then go http://ayla..zaadz.com and click on the “BOOKS FOR PEACE PROJECT” link and then click on the “add comment button”. Please write which book you have picked up and which general area are you in when you picked up the book. I would like to know what places this book have gone. When you are done with the book please leave it again in a public place. Thank you!

Your wonderful intentions will send love energies in all times and dimensions. Congratulations and thank you for your courage and starting your project.
it's a nice idea to promote interaction between like minded readers, i reckon something on similar lines can be done electronically. Share ebooks or links to them. what say you ?
I think that's a super idea for people who enjoy ebooks. I, personally, just don't like them. I guess I'm old fashioned - I love the feel, the smell, the whole experience of opening to the first page of a brand new experience!
I love the idea! I have been thinking about how to do a free exchange of books, my thoughts did not get this far along though…thanks for the inspiration!
Great idea! How is it going?
Quite honestly I never heard back from a single soul! I had sort of forgotten about it. Guess I'll put some more books out there! Thank you for the reminder, Snow!
Yesterday, I put this information in the “THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR” pod, under “BULLETIN” along with a link to your site. Check it out.
