One can sign up there and if you agree to write a review Penguin will send you a free Classic book.
The book they pick is at random.
Michele got Pnin by Nabokov.
I will receive:
The Terror of St Trinian's and Other Drawings
Which I looked up on Amazon UK and review is:
Synopsis
Ronald Searle takes us back to the world of the Gothic Public School in "The Terror of St Trinian's". In this gloriously anarchic academy for young ladies we witness shootings, knifings, torture and witchcraft, as well as many maidenly arts. The subject of many evergreen films, St Trinian's is synonymous with the sort of outrageous behaviour that would make a convict blench. This book also contains a selection of Ronald Searle's work from the non-school books, including "The Rake's Progress", "Souls in Torment" and "Merry England", etc. and their publication in one volumes stakes Searle's claim to be the greatest and most influential English satirist since the war.
Chums should do it and see what you all get!"
I logged in and signed up and will soon be receiving a copy of "The Rubiyat of Omar Kayam" Lovely. I've never read it, although I suspect our house already owns a copy. Ah well! I'll do it, and maybe try again to see what the next dip into the random bag provides!

My book bag overfloweth!
My book bag overfloweth! Must invest in Shaman's pouch.
Too slow?
I tried a few days ago and again just now, and it appears there are no more books from that source. However, I did LOVE the Leppotone Lending Library idea.... maybe we better move some books around again.
Dude!
I still have a gajillion books (mostly trade paperbacks) that I need to pass around, but I got discouraged after the first few times I passed them out, beacause people gave 'em back to me when they were done. Nooo! Give them AWAY. I'll bring another passel next time we convene, if you all want me to.
