World Book Night is a new initiative to accompany World Book Day. Tomorrow night an army of 20,000 volunteers (including me) will be giving out one million free books to whomever they wish. There are 25 selected titles in the give-away and each volunteer has 48 copies to hand out. I chose to hand out Life of Pi as it is one of my all-time favourite books; one of the few books that I can read again and again and still learn from. It has, for me, an almost restorative power making me understand again the power of faith and hope. I will be handing out 48 copies in the Northamptonshire area, in and around Oundle. The scheme is launched in Trafalgar Square tonight and the books will be given out Saturday evening.
