Do you love a book so much you want everyone to read it?

Yes, you say?

Then you should know about World Book Night.  When it launched last year, people like us gave away a million books to poor kids and adults. The goal of World Book Night is to put a book into someone’s hands and say, “This one is amazing. You have to read it.”  The goal is to spread the joy of reading.

World Book Night will select 50,000 volunteer book-givers to hand out 20 copies of special edition World Book Night books (a total of a million books altogether).  I MUST be one of those volunteers!  To become one, I have to stop indexing, stop blogging, and try to get selected.

I wonder if I can write eloquently enough about my three favorites.
