Yesterday was World Book Night 2012, "an annual celebration designed to spread the love of reading and books."
I stood out in Red Square and handed out free copies of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief to other students passing by. It took around an hour and a half to distribute all 20 copies, which wasn't bad at all. I thought I'd be there for hours! Most of the people who took a book were pretty happy that it was free...except for this one man, who seemed particularly suspicious about the fact that I didn't want anything for the book, haha. It was a great experience, and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year.
