The Book That Changed My Life 71 Remarkable Writers Celebrate the Books That Matter Most to Them Hardback - 2006
de Roxanne J. Coady; Joy Johannessen
With the goal of promoting literacy (and with proceeds going to the Read to Grow Foundation), here are 65 spirited testaments to the transformative power of reading from 65 distinguished contributors, as compiled by bookseller Roxanne Coady and editor Joy Johannessen.
Books change lives, and if you have any doubts on that score, you need only dip into this joyous celebration of reading by 65 people who have distinguished themselves in various fields, from sports, to cooking, to journalism and the arts. In brief and lively essays, the contributors wrestlers, actors, singers, monks, Nobel Prize winners, chefs, politicians, writers tell about the single book that changed the way they see themselves and the world around them.
A sampling of contributors includes: Elizabeth Berg on The Catcher in the Rye; Harold Bloom on Little, Big; Steven Brill on The Making of the President, 1960; Da Chen on The Count of Monte Cristo; Maureen Corrigan on David Copperfield; Nelson DeMille on Atlas Shrugged; Tomie dePaola on Kristin Lavransdatter; Anita Diamant on A Room of One's Own; Linda Fairstein on The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes; Sebastian Junger on BuryMy Heart at Wounded Knee; Wally Lamb on To Kill a Mockingbird; John McCain on For Whom the Bell Tolls; Lisa Scottoline on Angela's Ashes; Susan Vreeland on To Kill a Mockingbird; and many more. . . .
Primera línea
I remember first the power of the language: "Here is the house. . . . Dick and Jane . . . the fall of 1941 . . . Nuns go by as quiet as lust. . . . Love, thick and dark as Alaga syrup," and yes, that child left "among the garbage and the sunflowers."
