Only read if you have read "Chicken soup for the soul" or believe there is no such word as "Can't"

I believe very much in love for your fellow human being and a hug is an appropriate way of expressing that love. Your idea of trading the books for hugs is indeed a wonderful notion, however what about those that cannot read are they going to miss out on the hugfest? Actually I do think that your idea is a selfless one and I applaud you for thinking it only if it could be realized without disappointment as so many things are today, by the way I have read the books.
