Synopsis

Fifty-seven great contemporary writers describe the books and the events that made them lifelong readers. Think back, for a moment, to the first book you really loved -- the one you read over and over, day and night, because it took you someplace you never wanted to leave. Or remember the person -- a teacher, a parent, a librarian -- who showed you how words could make magic. These are the memories that fifty-seven of today's best writers share in The Most Wonderful Books -- the stories, the experiences, and the people that made them lifelong readers. - Back cover.
