Book Crossing
After a weekend of geocaching, I've learned about another cool urban treasure hunting site:
http://www.bookcrossing.com
You mark the books you don't want anymore with using an id label and a message that the book is free and has been registered at BookCrossing.Com. You then "release" the book into the "wild" by leaving it at a coffee shop or gas station or in a phone booth for someone to find. The label in the book encourages the person who finds it to let the site know that they have "caught" the book.
I've got a few novels that the used bookstore wouldn't take (they already had too many copies). I think I'll release those around the city.
My screen name on bookcrossing is the same as in LJ.
