It's fun, but I would advise folks not to get their hopes up that a book will immediately attract plenty of journal entries. Some will, some never will. It just depends.

Interesting, as not many people I've met have heard of it. I love books and was thinking about just leaving them places as a random act of kindness. Not just any book, mind you. Books that inspired me, like "Tuesdays with Morrie". I believe that whomever is meant to find it will. It may help someone more than you think and the best acts of kindness are those done anonymously. There are currently two people in my office on Free Rice, BTW and I think we're all hooked!

I probably have at least one book that I could set free. I’ve heard of it but haven’t signed up at all. I probably have at least one book that I could set free.

Reminds me of the Smile Boston Project (http://www.bataclan.com/) where this painter leaves super cute paintings in public places and attaches a note that says that the viewer can take the painting for FREE ... if he or she promises to smile at strangers more often!!
