具体描述
Anne Fadiman is--by her own admission--the sort of person who learned about sex from her father's copy of "Fanny Hill," whose husband buys her 19 pounds of dusty books for her birthday, and who once found herself poring over her roommate's 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because it was the only written material in the apartment that she had not read at least twice. This witty collection of essays recounts a lifelong love affair with books and language. For Fadiman, as for many passionate readers, the books she loves have become chapters in her own life story. Writing with remarkable grace, she revives the tradition of the well-crafted personal essay, moving easily from anecdotes about Coleridge and Orwell to tales of her own pathologically literary family. As someone who played at blocks with her father's 22-volume set of Trollope ("My Ancestral Castles") and who only really considered herself married when she and her husband had merged collections ("Marrying Libraries"), she is exquisitely well equipped to expand upon the art of inscriptions, the perverse pleasures of compulsive proof-reading, the allure of long words, and the satisfactions of reading out loud. There is even a foray into pure literary gluttony--Charles Lamb liked buttered muffin crumbs between the leaves, and Fadiman knows of more than one reader who literally consumes page corners. Perfectly balanced between humor and erudition, "Ex Libris" establishes Fadiman as one of our finest contemporary essayists.

读后感
喜欢读谈读书的书籍。法蒂慢无意识有趣的读书人，也很浪漫。给老公的生日礼物是跑很远的路找到一个闭塞的书店买几大包的旧书。如果是一个爱书人，这因该是最欢喜的生日礼物了。家庭趣事，和中国读书家庭也比较像。作者非常细致，读书的细节的比较也能看出人物性格。有一个医生...
评分妙趣横生，在图书馆借的，本来想看看就还的，甚至为以前买了好多书而后悔，原来山师图书书馆里全有的，猛看了一个月的书，发现书是越看越多，看多了就不会满足图书馆了，因为图书馆的书毕竟不是最新的，书是越看越想看。喜欢法地蔓的书，还做了笔记，把书中介绍的书找来看，书...
评分作者说，爱书的人分两种，世俗的和高雅的。高雅的爱书者对书真是呵护备至，不能容忍别人把书在看到的那一页倒扣起来。甚至即使对书签也挑三拣四，不能太厚，否则会在书上留下印痕。而世俗的爱书人，会为了减轻戴上飞机的书的重量，而把已经读过的章节撕下来。 作为一个什么东西...
评分关于书的书 ——读安妮·法迪曼的《书趣——一个普通读者的自白》 安妮·法迪曼说，凡是讨论书的书，我一向都难于拒绝。于是，遇到她写的《书趣——一个普通读者的自白》，我也就不拒绝了，其实也拒绝不了。 正如书名，这确是一本有趣的书。...

The book starts with this: When the Irish novelist John Mcgahern was a child, his sisters unlaced and removed one of his shoes while he was reading. He did not stir. They placed a straw hat on his head. No response. Only when they took away the wooden chair on which he was sitting did he, as he puts it, "wake out of the book." I was such a child -- and I was such a child.
评分穷人啊穷人
评分很多年前美國國會圖書館辦了一本雜誌叫做Civilization(曲高和寡,沒幾年就結束營業),其中我最愛看的就是Anne Fadiman在上頭的專欄.Fadiman一家都是書蟲(她父親最有名的一本書,叫做"一生的讀書計劃"),她的專欄裡頭講的全是各式各樣的書有關的事情,集結成書,就是這本Ex Libris.對我這個book nerd而言,讀起來真是大有吾道不孤之感,只可惜當年雜誌裡頭同樣精彩的漫畫沒放進來,不然就完美了.
评分Quirky and interesting at times, and the rest of the time..what an tiresome pedantic show-off!
