As part of the World Book Night 2011 Million Book Giveaway, I will be giving away 11 copies of Life of Pi by Yann Martel for World Book Night via this blog.
Life of Pi is the thrilling story of Pi, a young indian boy who survives a ship wreck, only to find himself stranded on a life boat with an injured zebra, an orangutang, a hyena and a hungry bengal tiger. What follows is a strange and maginficent tale of survival and an incredible relationship between a young boy and the tiger. I gave this to my boyfriend, who does not enjoy reading, while we were away from each other during the university summer break and he loved it. I think that says more than the fact that it won the Man Booker Prize.
Unfortunately, due to the risk of bankrupting myself in postage costs, I will only be able to send one of the eleven books internationally- this will be via surface mail. The other ten books I will send via second class post to winners in the UK. The books will be sent on a first come, first served basis to those who send their full name and postal address to bookandbiscuit@hotmail.co.uk .
Best of luck!

I applaud what you’re doing. World Book Night is a fabulous initiative. I am blessed with a full bookshelf, so I won’t be applying for one of the free ones – but plan to get involved with it next year. Hope it all goes well tonight.
Thanks kd, pass the message on to any friends who might be interested 🙂
What a great giveaway! If I’m lucky enough to win one of the copies, in the spirit of World Book Night I would like to pass it on again after I’ve read it so more people can enjoy it!

That’s fantastic Lindy, I love to see people getting into the spirit of world book night!
Nice blog. What could be better than reading and eating? As you see, The Side Trek agrees.
