Bookcrossing experiment
Another project that I have started for about 2-3 weeks: in the hall of Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest, I put two bags with used books: universal & Romanian literature, literature critique. The point was book sharing. I also wrote a message: Grab a book but put one in place! The first two days, students were looking really curious but they weren’t looking into the bags to see what books were there. After that, they started to look deep into the bags and really look over them. Later, they started to do the crossing thing. But only a percentage of 40% really put a book in place, the rest only taking them and … stealing them? I will wait to see if they are stealing them or they are just reading & bringing them back.
What does this mean for me? I don’t know yet, but I will draw some conclusions out of this after more time. Now it would be too premature.
