Weapons of Mass Instruction...


So this is pretty cool. And though the story is more than a month old I just came across it and had to share. The Argentinian artist Raul Lemesoff was inspired (for World Book Day) to modify his 1979 Ford Falcon into a mock tank-like vehicle, but the weapons he carries are books...900 of them! He calls the books his Weapons of Mass Instruction and cruises through Argentina's urban centers offering free books to anyone who wants one. The only requirement is that you promise to read it. This, to me, is really inspiring; it made my day. To read the full article and watch a short video of the artist click here (this is also where these photos were borrowed). If you'd like to read about other inspiring people that distribute books--but by bicycle--click any of the links on this page.


Urban Simplicity.
