World Book Night

Originally launched in the U.K. in 2011, World Book Night is an annual event designed to promote a love of reading and books by giving away one million free books on a single night. World Book Night will be celebrated for the first time in the U.S. on April 23, 2012.

WBN needs 50,000 volunteers to hand out 20 books each — for a total of one million free paperbacks. To apply for a chance to be one of the book givers selected this year, visit WorldBookNight.org by ~~February 1~~. Deadline extended! Applications must be received by February 6.

For the list of donated books, WBN organizers carefully selected 30 titles from a variety of genres, including crime and science fiction as well as prizewinning literary fiction and nonfiction. Browse the full list below.

There are 31 books in this aisle.
