“When you sell a man a book, you don’t sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue — you sell him a whole new life.”
That’s a rather big statement by writer Christopher Morley. Has a book ever changed your life? Some might site a self-help book or the bible. I remember Doctorow’s Ragtime changing the way I thought about the structure of novels… but that wasn’t really life-changing. Have you experienced a book which had a profound impact on you?
