Description

Book Synopsis
In personal essays that read like short stories, writers describe their life-altering encounters with books.

Trade Review
"This is a wonderful book - a must for anyone who reads, who writes or who aspires to either. It is such a joyous celebration of the intimate relationship between reader and writer, it makes you want to run to the bookshelf, to the library, to the bookstore and read, read, read. These essays remind us of why we read and why we write - they remind us of the power of stories to inspire, entertain, and alter the course of our lives." A. M Homes "Remarkable Reads and remarkable delights! This is no literary seminar, it's a carnival of unintended consequences." Tom Wolfe
