Other bibliophiles will appreciate and quote passges from  The Book That Changed My Life:  71 Remarkable Writers Celebrate the Books that Matter to Them.  There's a great recommended reading list in the appendix.  If you liked the way The Thirteenth Tale related to readers, I guarantee you'll like this compilation.
