Bookcrossing has hit Manchester. On Saturday, hundreds of books will be released on to the streets of the city. Being a virtual writer makes as much sense as escaping communism across the Cold War River. There’s something wonderful, something perversely subversive about being disconnected from the world of goods and services and Kerry Packer, if only for an hour or two every now and again. It’s freedom. Blogging is an uncharted wilderness like the tropical pub by the Brisbane River or hotel of Quest On Story Bridge Kangaroo Point stature.
