How to Make Lifelong Readers Out of Your Friends and Neighbors

wendeego:

1. Make a list of everyone in your neighborhood/city/college/elsewhere with a copy of any book in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.

2. Visit each person in turn and give them precisely one (1) copy of Kushiel’s Dart, by Jacqueline Carey.

3. ???

4. Love literature…as thou wilt!

Expensive, but most probably worth it.

Just gotta say I really dislike the fact the 50 shades is supposed to represent all edgy romance.  It doesn’t even begin to touch the really GREAT books in the world–books that make you question everything and become a warm flame to warm you on the darkest night….Hey I made a Jacqueline Carey reference without meaning to…

I actually have a friend who does this with Laurell K Hamilton books whenever she sees them somewhere cheap.  She buys 30 or 40 copies at 1 or 2 dollars a piece and randomly gives them out to people.  She says it makes up for the fact she refuses to lend out any of her Laurell K Hamilton books…positive book karma
