Today, I left my book on the plane after I'd finished reading it. The flight attendant thought I'd forgotten it, so he chased me through the airport, past security, past customs, and past baggage claims. I didn't have the heart to tell him I left it on purpose. FML

My guess #1 is that the male flight attendant's phone number is written somewhere in the book. Guess #2, the OP is male.

Leaving books in random places is a way of encouraging people who wouldn't go and buy books to read. I think it's a great idea. Plus, the guy didn't try and get any money out of it, he just wants to spread his love for books!

when most people read a really good book they keep it to possibly reread in the future but I can see your point of view also

See, this is understandable on buses and trains, more with newspapers as I have never seen a book being left, as these are continuously running and so people get on and off at different times, but with a plane, when you get off, they then just clear up the plane. They wouldn't leave a book on the plane, in fact they'd most likely just throw it away or destroy it. So that way, no one gets to read it, but if you just donate it to a charity shop or something then someone else can read it (and they money they pay for it goes to charity c:)

No he didn't. OP used the plane like a trash can.

Having forgotten a book on a plane and having to try to get it back... They actually have a lost and found facility for each airline. I didn't get my book back though because j couldn't afford to have it shipped to me and they wouldn't let me just pick it up. :(

The guy went beyond the call of duty. You had better have thanked him

Sigh.no respect for books&other people. Even though its a bad book, donate it. If i were you(ill never leave a booke behind)i would have walked upto the the planes desk&would have given the guy a commendation.

1. At least op is a reader, they get a lot of points for that in my book. 2. Op could have been leaving the book for someone else that got on the plane sharing the love of reading I would just suggest a little STICKY note on the cover "good read - enjoy"
