I read an article from the Guardian the other week about an upcoming night where writers and non-writers will giveaway a million books.  The purpose is to get books into the hands of people who want them.  So folks with books are giving books to those who want the books they have. 

When I read the story, I appreciated the plain and simple way the organizers of the Book Night talked about the event.  People give away a book they’re excited about to someone who they think will enjoy it.  I love the act of giving and when you put giving with the emotions excitement and enjoyment, the result is something as creative as World Book Night.

If I were one of the folks giving books away, I’d probably give titles like The Red Tent, Invisible Man, Let Your Life Speak, Someone Knows My Name, Half Of A Yellow Sun, and The Inward Journey.

Take a look at this if you’re interested in the story.  What books would you give away if you were participating in something like the Book Night?
