S'està carregant… The Book That Changed My Life: 71 Remarkable Writers Celebrate the Books… (2006)de Roxanne J. Coady (Editor), Joy Johannessen (Editor)
   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This is another of the many books that I have read about books. What sets this book apart is the question that engages the contributors to respond, namely: what book or books changed your life? I think there was more than one book that changed my life, but each one that I might choose would have a different impact or change my life in a different way. Each essay is unique to the individual author yet they all share a love of books that is inspiring to this seasoned reader whose life was changed more than once by a book that he has read. (  ) jwhenderson | Jul 2, 2022 |  Every book has an influence on the reader, some profound, some not so meaningful, and some even repugnant, but every book ever read leaves the reader changed. In this collection of the books which most affected 71 authors, you find books of fiction, of history, of poetry of non-fiction and books that influenced these authors even when they were young. From The Little Engine that Could to Charlotte's Web to the Collected Works of Shakespeare to The Catcher in the Rye to To Kill a Mocking Bird, all of these books left indelible imprints of authors who themselves offered their souls in the books they have created. One of the best ways to answer yourself when asking, "What should I read next?" is to have the recommendations of others and nowhere will better recommendations be found than in the recommendations of the people who craft books themselves. This was a wonderful read and gave me a roadmap to many volumes I must now add to my own experience.

I had supposed that a lot of the writers would have chosen the same book but that actually happened very infrequently. Off the top of my head, the ones that were recommended the most for being Life-changing were Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Some people flocked to Shakespeare and his writings, while others chose books that I had never heard of before. Either way, the collection was interesting and the end of the book has a suggested reading list. These are both definitely positive points to add. As for the negatives, I suppose the small number of people that responded was a bit disappointing. You may say that 65 is a pretty large number, but with how fast the book goes by, the editor probably could have gone up to 80 or 100. I also don't really know how this is organized. However, that seems to be the case for most of these books that I have read. (  ) Floyd3345 | Jun 15, 2019 | “You could read the same text repeatedly over time, and that something fresh and new would declare itself with each reading - was a revelation to me.” “I finally got it: a book could do more than help you pass an exam, it could lift you up and sweep you away.” “I don’t want to reread any of them now, for fear of finding they have aged as gracelessly as I have.”  bookworm12 | Mar 21, 2018 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
