I love the idea of World Book Night –http://www.worldbooknight.org/. To be held on March 5th 2011, this event will see a team of thousands of volunteers each being given 48 books to hand out, potentially to people who normally wouldn’t get the chance to read. There are some great books on offer, some of which I have read, others not. Well worth volunteering for!
