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
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。...
评分无处不在的平淡中不时渗透出读书的乐趣、闪烁着人生的哲理。 “从书中醒来”，已经很久没有这种令人愉悦的感觉——那该是一种多么优雅的姿势——抬起眼皮，可以想象一下。 扉页题词？——从来也没有。互相赠送书籍真的是一种很高雅的表达关爱的方式。印象里，父亲送了一本新...
评分我们每个人都会象巨大的蜗牛般留下痕迹。 一直都写不好书评，反省原因，不外乎没有耐性，无法慢慢阐述书本本身，只顾着抒发自己的感受。 但书给人的最宝贵的东西，不就是这些吗？ 下面的东西，与《书趣》几乎没有关系，但又都是书趣——书引发的，属于我自己的小趣味。 人如...

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
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Quirky and interesting at times, and the rest of the time..what an tiresome pedantic show-off!
