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
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...
评分本书的作者和目标读者是同一群人，他们被叫做书迷、书痴或书虫（bibliophiles, bibliomania, book-worms）都可以，但绝对不是什么普通读者。普通读者可以喜欢言情武侠奇幻，也可以研读军事历史哲学，但只有《书趣》这样的书之书不会是普通读者的菜。读书之书的是那些狼吞虎咽地...
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...
