Description: Here is a book about the sheer joy of living, exploring forty texts that can enrich us in all manner of ways. Some are recent, such as Harry Potter; some ancient, such as Homer and Lao Tzu. There are memoirs (Nelson Mandela), poetry (Les Murray) and many of the world's great novels. This book uses them to muse upon life in all its glorious complexity.

McGirr's humour and insight shine through in essays that connect the texts he has selected with each other, and connect us to them. This is the ideal companion for a keen reader - and it may just inspire someone you know to become one, too.

Never prescriptive, and often very funny, Books that Saved My Life is an invitation to reflect on the extraordinary gift of reading.
