Books that changed the lives of celebrities

For many of us, the opinions of celebrities are authoritative, if not decisive. We buy clothes and cosmetics, go to restaurants and exhibitions, diet and travel based on their advice. So why can’t we inherit their taste in literature? We’ve put together five of the celebrities’ favorite books for you.

Kate Moss – The Beautiful and the Damned, Francis Scott Fitzgerald

An intimate look at America’s “lost generation” of twentysomethings. The novel tells the story of the hedonistic lifestyle of wealthy heirs during the Jazz Age. They eat at the finest restaurants, rent prestigious homes, and bravely spend their youth in the dim light of New York City’s nightlife. But a life without purpose brings them no happiness.

Natalie Portman – Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell

What could a mid-19th-century notary, a young European composer in the early 20th century, a California journalist in the 1970s, a contemporary small-time publisher, a clown maid in a future Korea, and a Hawaiian goatherd at the end of civilization possibly do? Spoiler: They are united by a comet-shaped birthmark and a desperate thirst for life.
