WBN 2012

 

  

Books.
The smell of them, the feel of them, the look of them. I love them. I devour them. I live and breathe them. Aside from cooking and travel programs, my favourite thing to watch on TV has to be adaptations of books, or programs about books, such as the series of emissions produced for World Book Night, which has to be after Christmas, birthdays and holidays one of my favourite times of the year. Nothing can match the sheer delight of sharing with people the joy of books - how they can change the way we think and lead us to new conclusions in new and far-flung worlds.
This year, WBN will be on the 23rd of April, and is to be celebrated in the USA as well as Britain, and I just cannot wait!
Here is a list of the WBN interactive top 100 books for you to peruse at your own leisure. I personally have  already read 23 of the books on the list, and a further 9 are already sitting in my bookcase waiting to be read, not to mention the numerous others on the list I plan to read and are either sitting in the school library or local bookshop waiting for me.
I await WBN 2012 with impatience, and would be glad to hear from anyone who shares my unhealthy obsession with such events.
