Offer to swap the book you are reading

“Proposing a trade to a stranger reading nearby feels like a line you should not cross. Books are the one thing people are glad to be asked about, and you walk off with something you would never have picked.”

The Recipe

  1. Find someone reading a printed book in a café, a park, or on a long ride.
  2. Offer to swap yours for theirs, then and there, for keeps.
  3. If they say yes, tell them one true thing about yours before you hand it over.
