Been looking into city-wide reading initiatives this afternoon and realise that The Lost World Read launches this week. The initiative is part of an even bigger project; Darwin 200 which celebrates the bicentenary of Charles Darwin and his transformational scientific ideas.
Participating cities up and down the UK will start reading Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic adventure story about dinosaurs and exploration; The Lost World.
If you’re lucky enough to live in one of the participating cities then pop into your local public library where you should be able to pick up a free copy of the book; or keep an eye out for discarded copies on park benches, coffee shops and buses as The Lost World is being shared as part of the Bookcrossing initiative.
