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.

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.
评分谁说这本书好看来着,全是美国人的对自己的obsession.没劲。
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.

评分有趣。
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...
评分这本书是让人一眼就喜欢上的那种,从翻开书页那张素淡的藏书票开始,就让人想拥在怀中. 当然,更不用说书里那些同为书虫的共鸣和心声了,让你觉得一下子找到知音的快乐,从小到大,家里人对我捧本书的样子颇为不屑,都认为读书是件很没有用的事情,只会把人读呆,对生活没...
评分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...
评分前几天和美院的几个刚认识的朋友一起吃饭,其中一个告诉我说他的专业是室内设计。 我一听这个专业,不禁乐了一下。因为想起安妮法迪曼在【书的婚事】里讲的一件事儿。 安妮的朋友把房子租给一个室内设计师住了几个月。过了一段时间,当房子重新收回的时候,他们发现整个书房...
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。...
