Journal Entry 1 by literaDiva on Thursday, November 4, 2010

Liebe/r Finderin/Finder,

Stell Dir vor, die ganze Welt wäre eine einzige große Bibliothek ... Genau das ist die Idee, die hinter Bookcrossing steht, diesem weltweiten Forum zum kostenlosen Lesen, Tauschen und Freilassen von Büchern. Die Bücher sollen nicht nur einem, sondern ganz vielen Menschen Freude bringen und Bookcrosser wählen dafür diesen herrlich unkonventionellen Weg.

Die schönste Belohnung für mich wäre es nun, wenn die Finderin/der Finder hier einen Eintrag hinterlässt: wo das Buch gefunden wurde, wie und ob es denn wohl gefiel und wie die Reise des Buches jetzt weitergeht.

Dazu muss die Finderin/der Finder sich nicht etwa registrieren, sie/er kann dabei völlig anonym bleiben – andererseits ist natürlich jeder neue Bookcrosser ein großer Gewinn für die Gemeinschaft ...!

Viel Freude mit dem Buch und Dankeschön für den Eintrag

Inhaltsbeschreibung laut Amazon-Redaktion:
On The Road, -- the most famous of Jack Kerouac's works, is not only the soul of the Beat movement and literature, but one of the most important novels of the century. Like nearly all of Kerouac's writing, On The Road is thinly fictionalized autobiography, filled with a cast made of Kerouac's real life friends, lovers, and fellow travelers. Narrated by Sal Paradise, one of Kerouac's alter-egos, On the Road is a cross-country bohemian odyssey that not only influenced writing in the years since its 1957 publication but penetrated into the deepest levels of American thought and culture.

Inhaltsbeschreibung laut Publishers Weekly:
Fans of Kerouac get the whole beautiful, groovy deal with this new recording of the radically hip novel that many consider the heart of the Beat movement. Poetic, open and raw, Kerouac's prose lays out a cross-country adventure as experienced by Sal Paradise, an autobiographical character. A writer holed up in a room at his aunt's house, Paradise gets inspired by Dean Moriarty (a character based on Kerouac's friend Neal Cassady) to hit the road and see America. From the moment he gets on the seven train out of New York City, he takes the reader through the highs and lows of hitchhiking, bonding with fellow explorers and opting for beer before food. First published in 1957, Kerouac's perennially hot story continues to express the restless energy and desire for freedom that makes people rush out to see the world. The tale is only improved by Dillon's well-paced, articulate reading as he voices the flow of images and graveled reality of Paradise's search for the edge.

Vielen Dank für dieses Buch von meiner Wunschliste, literaDiva! (Und für Lesezeichen, Postkarte und Blumenklammern! :)
Ich glaube, es wird noch eine ganze Weile warten müssen bis es gelesen wird - ich melde mich.

Journal Entry 4 by Oedde at Augsburg, Bayern Germany on Tuesday, August 9, 2011
It just wasn't the right time for me to read this book yet - so now it's in Bavaria, sitting in a box in a basement, and waiting for me to return from Romania. That will be next summer, so until then it won't be available either for me or for anybody else.

Journal Entry 5 by Oedde at Darmstadt, Hessen Germany on Saturday, March 28, 2015
The book has been out of that box and on my actual bookshelf for more than two years now - I finally picked it up a few weeks ago and started reading it :)
It was the right time for it. Reading it is kind of a trip down memory lane for me, and an attempt to understand certain things. So I'm going to keep reading, even if it looks like it's going to take me a while (I don't read a lot at the moment).

I eventually gave up reading this, and now I've picked it up off my bookshelf to let it travel on. It's better this way, I'm sure.

Liebe Finderin, lieber Finder,

ich wünsche dir viel Spaß beim Lesen dieses Buches und bei Bookcrossing! Es wäre super, wenn du einen kurzen Journaleintrag schreiben würdest - wie hast du das Buch gefunden? willst du es lesen bzw. hat es dir gefallen? wohin reist es noch? usw. Denn dann werden die bisherigen Leser*innen dieses Buches per Email benachrichtigt und wissen, dass es in guten Händen ist. Du kannst den Eintrag anonym verfassen oder dich vorher auf Bookcrossing.com registrieren, ganz wie du willst.

Viele Grüße
von Oedde
