No wonder that Georgia was a little sceptical, and it was a real joy to read how she worked her way through all the items on the list.

As the authors I interviewed can tell you, it isn’t necessarily easy to identify the books that have changed one’s life. It’s certainly true that some of my favorite contemporary books and authors are featured in The Book That Changed My Life. I also love nineteenth-century and twentieth-century English fiction–particularly Eliot, Trollope, James, Woolf, Iris Murdoch, David Lodge–and I spent a wonderful summer reading books by John Updike, Andrea Barrett, Richard Russo and Alan Furst. But the book that has actually changed my life is this book–because in sharing their insights with me, the authors led me to a vastly deeper and more nuanced understanding of literature than I had ever been able to gain in school, or on my own.

Book Review: The List That Changed My Life by Olivia Beirne

Nien Cheng gives a first-hand account of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Fluent in English and the widow of an official under Chiang Kai-Shek’s regime, Cheng worked for Shell Oil in Shanghai until she was arrested by the Red Guards in 1966 and accused of being a British spy. Throughout her six years in solitary confinement, Cheng held to her beliefs and refused to confess to crimes she didn’t commit or give in to the indoctrination of the Maoists. it made me more productive and inspire to take actions without prejudice or fear for the unexplored things. Also it made me get out of my comfort zone and try new things without hesitation.” Asif from Kolkata, India When Georgia's sister is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she promises to do everything her older sibling feels she can no longer do, resulting in a journey that will change her life forever - for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Marian Keyes. From beginning to end the process took about three years, I would say, because there was a lot of research involved. Three program officers at the National Book Foundation–Meredith Andrews, Maryann Jacob and Sherrie Young–helped enormously, by copying for me every news story, feature, scholarly article, book review, or essay related to the authors that they could find. The rest–synthesizing all that material, finding other sources, reading the authors’ books as well as their favorite titles, devising the interview questions, and editing the interviews–was up to me. But to be honest, the authors made it easy–they were not only astonishingly articulate and insightful, but their kindness and patience invariably dissolved the anxiety I felt at the beginning of every conversation. Meh. There was a decent story in there somewhere... buried beneath the one note OTT writing style. The writing equivalent of turning the dial up to 11. A little light and shade would have gone a long way.
