Ten essays that discuss the experience of reading - how it can help us to understand ourselves and the universe in which we live. The pleasure we get from reading and the transformation it can make to our lives. The authors come from different backgrounds and experiences but share the passionate belief in the importance of reading to improve the quality of life. Preaching to the converted on this site perhaps but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ed's Note: The authors are: Carmen Callil; Nicholas Carr; Jane Davis; Mark Haddon; Blake Morrison; Tim Parks; Michael Rosen; Zadie Smith; Jeanette Winterson; Maryanne Wolf and Mirit Barzillai
