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

3.0

Found this randomly wandering the library...while I enjoyed the short essays from a variety of writers, I would not necessarily say that these are "71 remarkable writers." A few are great writers, like Dorothy Allison, Chris Bohjalian, Harold Bloom, Elizabeth Berg, Jack Prelutzky, the truly remarkable Frank McCourt, etc. But many of the essays were contributed by people I've never heard of, many were journalists or politicians who've written a couple of books. For the most part the essays were good but not great (aside from, again, Mr. McCourt).
