47 Do people still read ’real’ books?



I believe they do, although the appeal of the Internet and e-books is undeniable. Actually, there’s a great initiative I’ve just read about in Britain (I think we have something similar in Hungary as well) called Bookcrosing. The basic idea is that you ’lose’ one of your books on purpose. Here’s how it works: first you register with the site, tag one of your books with a special number generated by the site, and then ’release it to the wild’. With any luck, your book will be rescued (that is, found, or as they say ’captured’) by someone. Next, the book-catcher is invited, via use of the special number, to update the travels of the book. This way all the previous owners can get in touch with the latest ’rescuer’ and they can exchange impressions of the book, then pass it on or ’losing’ it – in true Book Crossing spirit.
