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

当安妮法迪曼的《书趣》中文译本还是newly published的时候，我因为封面和书名买下来，事实上那一整套书都很漂亮很讨人喜欢。书里第一篇essay就是 书的婚事 。我不记得那本书上留着我当时的什么感想，但此刻我觉得，那描述的是我能想到最浪漫的事。 二十多年前，我爸爸和我妈...  

加拿大随笔作家斯坦·珀斯基曾说，对读者而言，必须要有一百万部自传，因为我们似乎在一本接一本的书中发现了自身生命的痕迹。这种观点对一个爱书人的我而言，不消说一定会高举双手赞成的。但生命中总有那么一个小小意外的痛苦时刻，这不，这个看似小概率的事件让我在读美国作...  

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...  

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...  

这本书我最早看的是繁体，简体出版我已经等了好多年了。 那时我还在上大学。我清楚的记得，对这本书的热爱让我在一个暑假跑到国图不外借的图书室里，一字一句的想要将它敲出来——影印每张要2块钱。 当然这和我所有的兴趣爱好一样，在持续了不到3章后就放弃了。 这么多年后...
