World Book Night 2012 – Books Announced.

Word Book Night is an amazing event. A million books will be given away. Beautiful.

The books for the 2012 event have been announced. There are some cracking reads on there, the following of which I can heartily recommend:

  • The Book Thief – Markus Zusak
  • Good Omens – Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
  • Let the Right One In – John Ajvide Lindqvist
  • The Road – Cormac McCarthy
  • Room – Emma Donoghue
  • Touching The Void – Joe Simpson

Here’s my profile on Good Reads.
