I don't have many interesting stories like that, but the closest is probably when I was staying at a hostel in Germany years ago. A random stranger staying in the same room at the hostel gifted me a copy of Carlos Castaneda's A Separate Reality (which they had received from someone else in turn, read and enjoyed and wanted to pass it on). I'm not sure it would be as much my thing these days, but for where I was at mentally at the time I really ended up enjoying the book a lot.

I still have it and have wanted to pass it on to someone else in a similar context to keep the chain going, but haven't really found myself in a similar situation since. Maybe one day though! Maybe I'll put it in one of those Little Free Libraries with a note or something.

That is actually a great story, very interesting in my opinion.

I stumbled across that book also. I have it in front of me now. The cover on my edition has an orb of light in the place of a man's face. I'm not sure if that's the same version you have, but wow, it may not seem like much to you but I'm blown away by your story.

If you feel that you want to pass the book along you can definitely try to leave it in one of those free libraries. That book will definitely make someone's day. I have it out in front of me because I've been meaning to read it again soon.
