Journal Entry 2 by c-dawg from Australind, Western Australia Australia on Wednesday, January 30, 2008
I haven't read it yet, but this just caps off the strangest day I have had in 2008. Who expects to find a book on a seat like this? So I'll read it, and I think I may keep it until I go overseas in June, so it can "achieve it's dream".
Dear whoever left this book on the bench all those years ago,
I just want to say sorry I haven't released your book... Truth is, I didn't get to travel that year. But your Rights of Man has certainly come in handy. I began my degree at UWA in 2009, majoring in European Studies and Political Science. Paine is a a seminal text in my library, it has been used for countless essays and inspired one very well received history lecture in 2010. It has moved around with me, and all in all been really helpful. Next year I am traveling around Europe, and that is when I will say goodbye to my (our) traveling book.

So I am about to jump on a plane to Europe and guess what is coming with me? I'm trying to decide where to release it, but its looking like Iceland might be the place :)
