Hello, I am a book out on an adventure. I am not sure how it began but this morning I was found in the NC State University Free Book Box. Now that I have been entered into BookCrossing you can help me and others track my adventures as I pass (hopefully) from hand to hand of delighted readers.
If you want to know a little about me, here is what my publisher said:
The Remains of the Day is a profoundly compelling portrait of the perfect English butler and of his fading, insular world postwar England. At the end of his three decades of service at Darlington Hall, Stevens embarks on a country drive, during which he looks back over his career to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving “a great gentleman.” But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington’s “greatness” and graver doubts about his own faith in the man he served.

I plan to release this book back to the place it was found, the NC State Free Book Box between Scott Hall and the DH Hill Library.
