World Book Night
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:39 pm
I just saw a Facebook post from Neil Gaiman about World Book Night. Basically it's an event in the UK where everyone gets together and votes for their ten favorite books online, and then the winning books are given away for free to people, prisons, and hospitals.
World Book Night just happened, but they are doing another one next year. It's hard to just pick ten books, because I normally read books that are in a giant ongoing series that can have 20+ books or something, but this is what i came up with for 2012:
Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa
The Magus by John Fowles
Glory Lane by Alan Dean Foster
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Magick Without Tears by Aleister Crowley
The Stand by Stephen King
The Founding
The Saint
The Lost
Eisenhorn By Dan Abnett
Here are the 2011 winners.
The only books I've read from that list are All Quiet on the Western Front and The Curious incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
