Everybody Reads 2008

What if everybody read the same book?

A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier book cover

We'd talk to each other about issues that matter, and we'd celebrate the power of books in creating a stronger community.

Join us for the sixth annual Everybody Reads project. This year's selection is A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah.
