Recently, a film star has been giving away free books on the London Underground. If you're a bookworm, a Harry Potter fan and a London Underground user, then it's been an exciting month for you.
Emma Watson, who starred in films based on the novels about a fictional schoolboy wizard, has been hiding books on the Tube for passengers to read through.
It's part of he Book On The Underground movement, which has a simple aim: to get more people burying themselves in literature. Books are left on trains for passengers to pick up, dip into and then leave for another lucky reader to skim.
The movement started in 2012 and drops off about 150 books a week in stations across London. Talking about Watson's participation in the project, the manager of Books On The Under ground, Cornelia Oxley, said, "The reaction has been great. It must be a mixture of how much everyone admires Emma, and how exciting it is to find something as wonderful as a new book on your journey."
The 100 or so books Watson left for passengers to read were even more special because she left a hand-written inscription(题词). The books were Kaya Angelou's Mom & Me & Mom.
One person who discovered a copy of the book on the Tube said she felt like the character Charlie Bucket - a boy who finds a golden ticket to the world's greatest chocolate factory - in the Roald Dahl's classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Watson became a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in the summer of 2014 and has since started reading as many books and essays on equality and feminism(饥荒) as possible. She has also started her own book club.
So. Why not take a leaf out of Emma Watson's book and leave a copy of your favorite book on a train? It could make a stranger's life richer.
