all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. the idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched (发起)the “if all of seattle read the same book”project in 1998. her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people

diverse population. this may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved.or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.ultimately，as nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word11what is the purpose of the project
