You remember the #hubskiliterarything - that crazy plan I had some 518 days ago to send out eight, wait, no, nine books on my birthday to Hubskiers, so they could read them, write in them and send them on to other Hubskiers.
Well... some of them of them got one hop out, some of them managed two.
But where? And with whom?
Here they are, on our little blue planet:

UPDATES
I'd love to update that map with the whereabouts of the books (thenewgreen, arguewithatree - can you give me a rough idea of where you are in the world?)
ONGOINGS
I'd love for anyone who's finished a book to send them on to anyone who wants one.
Has anyone finished one?
Does anyone want one?
ADDITIONS
And as flagamuffin suggested, if anyone wants to add a book to the literary thing, feel free. PM for access to the map. Just remember to include the Super Secret Special Thing with your book before you send it.

Prayer for Owen Meany has had an adventure, at least with me. However, it's ready to find a new home. The Super Secret Special Thing was eaten by a Roomba twice, stolen by my daughter and is currently a thousand miles away. Also, it feels way the fuck too much like homework. I am not a fan of the Super Secret Special Thing.
Bump. I have finished my book. It was The City and the City. Who can I mail it to? Klein, did you send on Prayer for Owen Meany? GorGorGorillaNeck veen galen TheGreatAbider16 OftenBen _refugee_ arguewithatree thenewgreen kleinbl00
I will take a book! I still have Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" sitting on my shelf, and I finished it ages ago. Does anybody have interest in receiving it next?
I finished my book, Foundation. I enjoyed it, but not quite as much as I had hoped. I have trouble getting into sci-fi for some reason, with the exception of Kurt Vonnegut, who does it a little differently anyway. I am almost certain I sent mine on. It sounds like maybe galen has it? If not, it's in my box of books, because I still lack a book case! EDIT: Yep, just checked my old messages. Galen received it a while back. But I just remembered I got a second book too. Sorry, I guess it's been a while. The second one was American Gods, right? I read that one as well, and it's definitely sitting in my box of books.
I still have my book. I haven't finished it. I wasn't reading enough for a while. I believe it is on my parents' bookshelf. Conveniently, next weekend is Father's Day, so retrieving it will not even require me to suffer my parents any more than I already had planned. I would like to finish it before mailing it on. From what I remember I had mostly liked it but then it took a turn. Before I can get back to it I have to finish "Every Love Story is A Ghost Story," but that is only a 300-pager and I'm getting through it at a pace to indicate I should be done by Father's Day.
