In his new book John Sutherland looks back to the magic of twenty-five experiences of books, films, plays, songs, paintings, landscapes, sounds, tastes and smells which took him by surprise, sank into his memory and shaped his life. What did they mean then, and why later when understood better did they sometimes mean less…
'Books, films, music and landscapes mean different things at different times of our lives. We consume them and, mysteriously, they define us at the moment of that consumption'. As he traces the random growth of an odd mind through time, John Sutherland's moments are moving, funny and sharply realised, offering insights we will all instantly recognise and share.

"I can't think of anyone better qualified, anyone with quite the same combination of pizzazz, technical knowhow and sheer enthusiasm." D.J. Taylor, Independent on Sunday" Blackwell review: Following his largely childhood memoir, The Boy Who Loved Books, John Sutherland considers the books (and a few films, songs and other things) which have shaped his life and which will strike a chord with many readers.
