Extended Profile
I live across the street from a branch of the Toronto Public Library. For pretty much any book that I want to read, I can log on to the TPL web site and request it and it will soon be waiting for me to pick it up just a few steps from home. The value of BookCrossing to me is that it gets me to read books that it wouldn't have otherwise occurred to me to read. The wishlist does consist of books that I want to read, but even better are the great books that I don't know about yet.
