(((Cindy Weinstein)))Today is #WorldBookDay in the #UK & #Ireland (the rest of the world celebrates it on April 23). I celebrate books everyday but in honor of today's World Book Day, I'll honor #PercivalEverett's #TheTrees, a haunting & believe it or not at times comic (in the way #Everett often is) retelling of #EmmettTill's murder. I know #Erasure is on everyone's mind (as it should be) what w/#AmericanFiction, but do read #TheTrees, if & when you can. What's your book for today?
Dermot Ryan@cindyweinstein Always thought it was a bit underwhelming to call it World Book Day when it's not being celebrated anywhere else in the world (and it's only being celebrated in Ireland because it's so publisher-led, and it seems English publishers didn't want to do a date that clashed with St George's Day.)
@dermotryanie. i get that.
@cindyweinstein Still a nice occasion; sort of like Halloween, with the kids going to school in costumes. Just would be nice to be doing it on the real day with everyone else.
