Books that have changed lives listen

Roxanne J. Coady is the founder of the R. J. Julia booksellers in Madison, Connecticut.

The store hosts more than 200 author events each year. A few years ago, Coady asked many of the authors who appeared at the store to write about a book that changed their lives.

The Book That Changed My Life has just been published in paperback. All proceeds will go to a nonprofit literacy organization called Read to Grow.

WMNF recently interviewed Roxanne Coady. We began by asking her which of the 71 short essays in the book what was her favorite.
