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
这本书是让人一眼就喜欢上的那种,从翻开书页那张素淡的藏书票开始,就让人想拥在怀中. 当然,更不用说书里那些同为书虫的共鸣和心声了,让你觉得一下子找到知音的快乐,从小到大,家里人对我捧本书的样子颇为不屑,都认为读书是件很没有用的事情,只会把人读呆,对生活没...
评分这本书的副标题是——“一个普通读者的自白”。 作者安妮·法迪曼出生书香门第，父亲、母亲、哥哥、老公都是作家、学问家，家族藏书过万应该是没有问题的。这样的一个人谦称自己为普通读者，叫我们这些喜欢瞎看一气的三脚猫们情何以堪啊。 当然，她这么说也不是过分的谦虚，...

评分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...
评分文笔不错的一本小书，只给了三星，给分这么低，是因为我对里面写的小故事们不是很感兴趣，或者说不是很有共鸣。为什么会如此呢？明明作者文笔挺好、说的又是我感兴趣的读书这件事。 纠结两天才想清楚，正如前言里作者说的，普通人读书是为了乐趣，想从碰到的各种零零碎碎中为自...

Quirky and interesting at times, and the rest of the time..what an tiresome pedantic show-off!
评分穷人啊穷人
评分Scintillating. 書痴談書，頁頁痴絕。
评分谁说这本书好看来着，全是美国人的对自己的obsession.没劲。
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.
