As some of you may be aware tonight is World Book Night. A little more about it here if you are not familiar: Welcome to World Book Night I'm lucky to have been selected as a Book Giver for the event and as such I have copies of Erich Remarque's 'All Quiet on the Western Front', a classic account of the war from a German point of view, which later inspired the film (or films if you include the 70s one). More on the book here: All Quiet on the Western Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As part of this event I have three (3) copies of the book to give away here on the forum. The books will be given to the first three UK Members who post here on the following conditions: 1.They live in the UK 2.Each book has a code number in the back; log on the World Book Night website and register that you have the book. 3.Read the book! (obviously!) 4.Having read the book re-post here to pass it on to someone else or give it to someone else where you live, at your work place etc and ask them to log on to the World Book Night website to register it, and hopefully they will pass it on, too. The latter is part of the long-term ethos of the event to keep passing the books on. When the first three people have posted below I will contact them for their home address and post the book to them early next week. Good Luck!
Paul Where you on the Culture Show earlier tonight presented by Andrew Graham-Dixon? I missed it and it was about tonight's million books for free giveaway. Hopefully it will be on iPlayer soon.
First read the book many years ago and it still stands out in my mind as a classic, perhaps partly because it is written from the German point of view, but it is a great story. The various film versions have also been rather good. You lucky winners!
Received in today's post Paul. Many thanks. Worldbooknight seems to be on a go slow at the mo. I'll register it soon as. Robert

Paul Thank you. My copy arrived today. I will register later and make a start on it. Then pass it on to the next person and follow the trail with interest.
Classic book, well worth the read my well thumbed copy gets an airing annually, the film versions of the book are good as well.
