Stars contribute to reading project

Actress Goldie Hawn, historian David McCullough and chef Jacques Pepin will be among the contributors to The Book That Changed My Life: A Hundred Reasons to Read from a Hundred People Worth Reading, to be published next summer by Gotham Books, an imprint of Penguin Group USA.

“I do believe a book can change a life, and sharing this not only encourages people to understand how reading can matter, it adds to our lives and the world,” said Roxanne Coady, a bookshop owner who will co-edit the project.
