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.

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...
评分要说这个暑假最大的收获,就是一本一本买了不少书,还能够看了其中的三分之一强。 下午把上班的爸爸和山山送走,又给上班的姐姐打了慰问电话,发短信给上班的妈妈。 然后不上班的我,就开始擦地,对于擦地这件事,我只会像一休哥那样,还没有人家那么熟练。 所以,在擦了厨...
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...
评分读着安妮.法迪曼的<<书趣>>,嘴角禁不住的扬起来,感觉那种在书中才能找到的小小快乐又回来了. 很羡慕她周围的环境,有这么多嗜书的亲人,朋友.这种家庭氛围就是书香门第的氛围. 我一直心向往之...她的这本书让我不由得想到杨绛先生写到的家庭场景,一张书桌,每人各据一角,中间堆...
评分我穿了件我最喜欢的米色毛衣,上一次穿过后就用金纺浸泡,它还残留着淡淡的香味,是我熟悉的。随手翻着美国当代最优秀的随笔散文作家安妮·法迪曼的《书趣——一个普通读者的自白》,九点就着白开水吃完了整袋(6只)椰球豆沙小面包,狼吞虎咽的,总是没饱。 书的纸张有些粗糙...
谁说这本书好看来着,全是美国人的对自己的obsession.没劲。
评分穷人啊穷人
评分这本书是Anne Fadiman 的第一本读书随笔文集。作者以平淡的文字叙述其对书的热爱和读书的乐趣。作者1997年至2002年曾担任American Scholar 的主编。
评分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.
评分原来中文翻作书趣 翻得真好 这么有趣的书真是要慢慢看的 看完了会失落的呢
