Let me digress a bit... read it from somewhere that there is this book club... wat they do is leave a book on public transport... either on the bus, train etc etc etc... andhope tat ppl can pickit up and read it... somewhere inside is a email address and the explaination for the exercise... logon to do a review of the book/share insights...where the book is picked up. Then pass it on to the next unsuspecting reader....
Anyone got any experience on this? I never did
