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.

Quirky and interesting at times, and the rest of the time..what an tiresome pedantic show-off!
评分Quirky and interesting at times, and the rest of the time..what an tiresome pedantic show-off!
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.
评分穷人啊穷人
评分很多年前美國國會圖書館辦了一本雜誌叫做Civilization(曲高和寡,沒幾年就結束營業),其中我最愛看的就是Anne Fadiman在上頭的專欄.Fadiman一家都是書蟲(她父親最有名的一本書,叫做"一生的讀書計劃"),她的專欄裡頭講的全是各式各樣的書有關的事情,集結成書,就是這本Ex Libris.對我這個book nerd而言,讀起來真是大有吾道不孤之感,只可惜當年雜誌裡頭同樣精彩的漫畫沒放進來,不然就完美了.
要说这个暑假最大的收获,就是一本一本买了不少书,还能够看了其中的三分之一强。 下午把上班的爸爸和山山送走,又给上班的姐姐打了慰问电话,发短信给上班的妈妈。 然后不上班的我,就开始擦地,对于擦地这件事,我只会像一休哥那样,还没有人家那么熟练。 所以,在擦了厨...
评分这本书的副标题是——“一个普通读者的自白”。 作者安妮·法迪曼出生书香门第,父亲、母亲、哥哥、老公都是作家、学问家,家族藏书过万应该是没有问题的。这样的一个人谦称自己为普通读者,叫我们这些喜欢瞎看一气的三脚猫们情何以堪啊。 当然,她这么说也不是过分的谦虚,...
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...
