Free your book.

Ron Hornbaker, got the idea to create a website where you can share the book that you have read with anyone. The April 17, 2001 the site was launched. This site was a sort of big library where you only have to put the ID of the book and leave it where you want (in a park, in a coffee, in your school). The site has three simple rules called "3Rs":
-1. Read a good book.
-2. Register it with a unique serial number.
-3. Release it for someone else to read, the person who found this book have to do the same thing and repeat the process.
Even if the "BookCrossing" was based in Missouri there are seven listed members in Italy, Italians have set the record in the site for "the most travelled book".


The Open Window


Mr. Nuttel is first met by Mrs. Sappleton’s niece Vera, who entertains him until her aunt is available. Vera, apparently bored with her guest, is graced with an overactive imagination and a sense of mischief. Once she determines that Mr. Nuttel knows nothing about the family it makes to work the imagination.Three years ago, Mr. Sappleton and his two younger brothers-in-law went hunting, leaving the house through a French window, which was left open until their return. However, all three of them were lost in a bog that day, Vera asserts, and their bodies were never recovered. The aunt, driven to distraction by her grief and loss, left the window open thereafter, anticipating that “they will come back some day” with the dog that was lost with them. When Mrs. Sappleton finally appears, she explains why the window is open, apparently confirming Vera’s story. Mr. Nuttel then tells Mrs. Sappleton about his nervous disorder and his need to avoid any “mental excitement.” Mrs. Sappleton is clearly bored, but at that very moment she sees her husband and brothers returning from their hunt. Vera appears to be horrified by the sight of them. The nervous Mr. Nuttel is therefore terrified and beats a hasty retreat from the house.In the closing paragraphs, the issue is clarified. The men had only that day gone hunting, and Vera’s yarn was purely imaginary. Mr. Nuttel has obviously been duped by Vera’s story, but Vera, a habitual liar, does not explain his odd behavior to the others. Instead, Vera invents another story that suggests Mr. Nuttel had once been frightened by “a pack of pariah dogs” in a cemetery “on the banks of the Ganges” and apparently had bolted at the sight of the spaniel accompanying the hunters. Thus, Mr. Nuttel is perfectly victimized by the young girl’s imagination.

Body language in love



1.When he holds your hands,he presses his palms as yours:
This kind of full fladged hand holding signifies a desire to connect with you. The same goes to interlocking fingers,while an arched plan means he's scared of may be holding same thing back literally.

2. He grazes your forearm while he's talking:
This message is loud and clear: he wants your attention,be it to impress you or make sure your listening because he want to be heard.

3.He leans toward you when you talk:
In a noisy bar,this sign might not hold to much weight. But when he can pysically hear you perfectly well and leans in anyway,it means he's interested in what you have to say and you in general.
