World Book Night tonight

Tonight is the first annual World Book Night, held in the UK & Ireland. The participants will give away copies of 25 titles, link to list here. I'm ashamed to admit, I've read only 2 of the 25 listed: All's Quiet on the Western Front and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. The about page for the site says some will be given to places like hospitals and prisons, so I think in honor of World Book Day I'll donate some books to a hospice facility in our area.

Sounds like a good idea. I have All's Quiet on the Western Front to read very soon, but I think I might read it in November...

Thanks for posting that link! I had never heard of World Book Night--this will significantly increase the size of my reading list!

(Just came across your site for the first time. LOVE the name. Great content too. I'll definitely be back.)
