The Bookchain Project
The bookchain project was started by me(Jaehurn Nam) and Nikolaj Nielsen. Nikolaj gave me a book in Summer 2019 while he was visiting Korea. 3 months later I visited him in California after finishing the book. We wanted to give the book to Frederik, another good old(as in our friendship is old, not the man himself) friend of ours the book when he visit me in Korea a few months later. We thought it would be a nice pastime to do this with more books and as the non-book guy of the two, I could take charge of keeping a record of the books roaming around the world under the Bookchain Project(BCP) and publish it on a webpage. The first book that started all of this is now the first book in the project, and it is already heading for the fourth reader and also fourth country.
A word from Nikolaj
Bookchain is a social reading project started by Jaehurn Nam in 2019 to encourage the free exchange of ideas and foster an intellectual community that spans the globe and stretches across friend groups. Our books migrate between countries and between people, with each new reader adding their name to the list of people who have read the book and passed it on. We believe that by sharing these books, we are committing ourselves to spreading ideas that we deem worthwhile, stimulating, and urgent. We hope you have many inspiring reading experiences through our chain!.
