[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7651930, member: 177"] Earlier this Spring, my wife took part in [url=http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/]World Book Night[/url], a charity that gives away books to encourage reading. The organization gets together the authors/publishers, and creates a list of 30 or so books. You get to pick your top three from the list (so you get to give away something you actually care about or like), and if they choose you as a giver, they give you 20 copies, and on one night you give them away, preferably to folks who are otherwise not heavy readers (so, you don't go down to Barnes and Noble to hand them out, or just give them to your friends. My wife and I went down to Faneuil Hall, in downtown Boston, to give them away. We were stunned at how many people looked at us funny for trying to give them a book. "No, sir, really, it's just a book. A novel. It's free. No, sir, no strings attached," and still, they scurry away with a doubting scowl. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
