The Book That Changed My Life: 71 Remarkable Writers Celebrate the Books That Matter Most to Them by Roxanne J. Coady

4.0

I think anyone that enjoys looking at this website would enjoy the essays in this book. It's always interesting to find out why a book is significant to a person, and added to this, these essays are written by people talented at writing. I'm going to have to go through this book a second time to glean a list of reading suggestions. I love these ending lines from Frank McCourt's essay on Henry VIII: "I don't know what it means and I don't care because it's Shakespeare and it's like having jewels in my mouth when I say the words. If I had a whole book of Shakespeare they could keep me in the hospital for a year."
