The BookMooch Journals

In this journal, I collect newspaper stories that influenced their readers in some way. To participate, just do the following:

1. Read any paper.

2. Find a story that is interesting and inspires you to some kind of action. This could be anything. Maybe you read a book review and buy the book. Maybe you read something about a person you’ve never heard of and look them up on Wikipedia. Maybe you read an article about a catastrophe and donate money. Maybe you read a really bad/good article and write a letter to the editor. Maybe you read about an event in your neighborhood and decide to attend. Maybe it was just a story that kept you thinking for some time and changed your mind or behavior in some way.

3. Put a cutting of the article in the book, together with a description of how it influenced you.

4. Cut out the date and name of the paper and glue it onto the cover.

That’s all.
