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...  

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...  

我穿了件我最喜欢的米色毛衣，上一次穿过后就用金纺浸泡，它还残留着淡淡的香味，是我熟悉的。随手翻着美国当代最优秀的随笔散文作家安妮·法迪曼的《书趣——一个普通读者的自白》，九点就着白开水吃完了整袋（6只）椰球豆沙小面包，狼吞虎咽的，总是没饱。 书的纸张有些粗糙...
