'Books that have literally changed my life'
2 May 2005
'When you write a book it's not a real thing, but the ripples are real. I've read books that have literally changed my life - my moral sense is different, my sense of humour is different. These things have very real implications for the rest of the world. I treat people differently. I spend my money differently. All because of these non-existent rocks that were thrown into a lake.'
Jonathan Safran Foer in the Bookseller
