Tonight - Monday 23rd April - is World Book Night. Ponders End Book Club is participating in this event and has free copies of 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho to give away.
The whole purpose of this initiative is to celebrate reading, literacy and books. It is an event that it is celebrated worldwide in the United States, Ireland and Germany as well as the UK.
25 titles have been selected and will be given away by 20,000 passionate readers to homeless charities, prisons, sheltered housing schemes, schools, libraries and other places and to individuals who might not have the time or opportunity to read or buy books.
Books are eye opening avenues into a different world - and none more so than books by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian writer, who writes books that stir the heart and are simple, beautiful tales of humanity.
You can find out more about 'The Alchemist' and World Book Night.
PS. And not forgetting Happy St George's Day and Happy Shakespeare's Birthday!
