What is it about the reading experience that leaves such a powerful and lasting impression, particularly in the minds of future writers themselves? Authors from the United States, Europe, and the Middle East discuss the books that have touched and altered their lives, the books they continue to carry with them around the world, and the feelings of true discovery and passion these works inspired. Paul Holdengräber, director of the NYPL’s public programs, leads the discussion.
