Southern Italy: home of the "suspended book"

the suspended book, here is that literature lovers find a new and very original trick to get in touch with each other. Every moment is precious for those who love to read and know how to listen to the thoughts of the authors and of those who, like them, have a weakness for books. The exchange of books represents a gesture of trust in the neighbor who finds himself leafing through it. This also demonstrates a strong sense of altruism because, you know, it is always difficult to part with a book. Few people know instead that this chain was born right from the heart of Italy. It starts from the province of Salerno to extend throughout Italy. It is therefore from the south that the first step takes place. More and more places are joining this initiative with pleasure, generating a whirlwind of culture and curiosity.

The charm of the book

To give a book also means to give a part of oneself to share it and set in motion a series of mental stimuli by creating an invisible communication network. A sort of telepathic network, for those who welcome the initiative. Each location is productive and can be used to create a link between readers. It all starts in bookstores. Customers after carefully chosen a book of their own interest, they can leave it near the cashier for the next customer. In a short time, the exchange moves to literary cafes, or next to newspapers in very common bars, even in public transport it is possible to brighten one's journey with a gift from some reader who voluntarily decided to leave there, “Suspended”, a story that will lead elsewhere.

The message…

This is considered a method not only to be heard, but also to recommend an unexpected topic to strangers. A found book is considered a real message in a bottle for you! A request to all synchronize on the same frequency. Expand your cultural background stop and read allowing yourself a moment of relaxation and empathy with the rest of the world that you want to put in contact with you between the pages of your work and during your life story.
A "suspended book" is a real contribution to society. An invitation to stop and listen to those around us, taking advantage of the most comfortable and convivial places.
Now you will know that you cannot look away from a book that is just waiting to be leafed through by you.
