What was the title of the first book you fell in love with as you sounded out the words on its worn pages? Was there one that really changed the way you think about things, wether you first read it in high school English, on a blanket at the beach, or under the covers with a flash light? A good book can truly change our lives, altering the way we look at the world and challenging us to experience the unknown. Sometimes it is love at first sentence, and sometimes there is a single character so real that he or she stays with us long after we've turned the last page. The book that change my life is a collection of lively essays that pay tribute to the transformative power of reading. The seventy-one distinguished contributors include some of our most celebrated authors, journalists, doctors, professors, poets, politicians, historians, chefs, and CEOs, each of whom shares the story of a book that changed the way they see themselves and the world around them. Their words are a testament to the life-altering importance of literature, and their reading choices inspire us to return to old favourites and seek out new treasures.
