This is an interesting idea. I came across a copy of "When Harlie was One" in a geocache while backpacking once. I would have loved to contact the person who put it there to ask them what they were thinking :-)

Yeah, I tend to just get up and go on long journeys. I try to make them mean something more than just engaging in wanderlust. It has given me the chance to see the world and meet many, many people.
I wish I'd more replies from my book seeding but it serves to demonstrate that what I thought was sheer brilliance really wasn't seen as such by others. It's humbling but not without reward in and of itself.
Those were all books that had impacted me in some way. I left personalized notes in each one, as well as the email address. So, to answer what I was thinking, I was thinking that I'd share something that had been meaningful to me, in some vain hope of similitude. I guess it was more about the hope of a shared experience, even if remote and unknown.
