From the spines of the volumes on the shelf, to vivid illustrations, to the reverberation of language, to the mental impressions and ideas shaping their perceptions of experience, the reading recalled by Gilman and Pyrhonen's contributors opens realms of possibility, invites adventures of perspective-taking, and encourages returns to both refreshing and challenging books.' Suzanne Keen, author of Empathy and Reading'A superb and dazzling collection of twelve unusual and insightful memoirs concerning the value of reading by notable writers such as Salman Rushdie, Peter Brooks, Cristina Sandu, and others. At a time when illiteracy is mounting throughout the world, this book urgently recalls how reading still opens the minds of young people to deal with the conflicts they face, not with guns but with imagination. What a joy to read how these writers have profited from reading!' ack Zipes, author of Speaking Out A collection of essays that explores how reading shapes an individual's life.
