Free books for book lovers.
June 2, 2013
On a trip to the local supermarket, I noticed a table which had many books laid out on it. There was nobody there to sell them, though. Even as I was watching, an old lady walked up to the table, looked at a couple of books, picked one up and left. Intrigued, I walked up to the table myself and saw a small handwritten note. As the text was in Swedish, I pulled out my mobile and used google translate. The crude translation was something like this: "The books on this table are not here for disposal/selling on the flea market. We have seen this." I was moved by the whole idea! Here were books put out by book lovers for other book lovers to read and enjoy, for free! I picked up a book for myself. I'll return it after I'm done reading it. I'll also buy a new book or two, for that table, for I know not every book lover would be able to afford to buy books to read.
The note, requesting people not to take these books away for selling on the flea market.
There were books in Swedish as well as English.
