BookCrossing and Ice-breaking May 12

ever heard of BookCrossing?

Let's try this out:
1) bring a book you enjoyed and would like to share with others and leave it at the dedicated BookCrossing corner which will be set up at the Tika Club
2) pick a book you would like to read from the pile and find out which participant left it there (keep the book!)
3) don't be shy, break the ice and start having fun!

Lovely idea! May 19, 2011

One more great idea, thanks a lot, Daniela!

May I suggest that those who have translated some books bring one of them, and add a note like "Happy reading! The translator" to the front page. It will add some extra pleasure for the colleagues who read them - and make the translators a bit more visible to the bigger public when the book is passed on.

Best,
Attila
