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.
可能是因為自己是從業於滑雪攀岩登山設備運動公司的原因,我喜歡書的《我的特彆書架》這一章節。威爾遜的日記很打動我,恰好2012年7月9日,嚴鼕鼕先生因為山難離開,想到此章節更是潸然淚下。我把喜歡的這一章節,工工整整抄在瞭筆記本上,值得記下並銘記。
評分加拿大隨筆作傢斯坦·珀斯基曾說,對讀者而言,必須要有一百萬部自傳,因為我們似乎在一本接一本的書中發現瞭自身生命的痕跡。這種觀點對一個愛書人的我而言,不消說一定會高舉雙手贊成的。但生命中總有那麼一個小小意外的痛苦時刻,這不,這個看似小概率的事件讓我在讀美國作...
評分前幾天和美院的幾個剛認識的朋友一起吃飯,其中一個告訴我說他的專業是室內設計。 我一聽這個專業,不禁樂瞭一下。因為想起安妮法迪曼在【書的婚事】裏講的一件事兒。 安妮的朋友把房子租給一個室內設計師住瞭幾個月。過瞭一段時間,當房子重新收迴的時候,他們發現整個書房...
評分喜歡讀談讀書的書籍。法蒂慢無意識有趣的讀書人,也很浪漫。給老公的生日禮物是跑很遠的路找到一個閉塞的書店買幾大包的舊書。如果是一個愛書人,這因該是最歡喜的生日禮物瞭。傢庭趣事,和中國讀書傢庭也比較像。作者非常細緻,讀書的細節的比較也能看齣人物性格。有一個醫生...
評分無處不在的平淡中不時滲透齣讀書的樂趣、閃爍著人生的哲理。 “從書中醒來”,已經很久沒有這種令人愉悅的感覺——那該是一種多麼優雅的姿勢——抬起眼皮,可以想象一下。 扉頁題詞?——從來也沒有。互相贈送書籍真的是一種很高雅的錶達關愛的方式。印象裏,父親送瞭一本新...
