Surfing book

The final destination of my books, is unknown to me (at least for the majority of them).
But every now and then, I find out where they were sent to, because some of my readers try and contact me.
So, somehow, you send out a book, and you get back a real living, breathing human being, that wants to take you to a “table of discussion”.
Usually, this happens with a question, a remark, a view to share, an argument to express…

But that’s not all, because some readers tend to take “The Book In Between” a step further.
And when this first started out, I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to put down short stories, which are inspired from a reader’s question, remark etc. Of course it would look like random pieces of a puzzle…which reminds me, exactly the way “The Book…” was written!
 
I really don’t know at this point where it is going to take us, but it seems very interesting to me.

The road is open!
