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.

有趣。
評分誰說這本書好看來著,全是美國人的對自己的obsession.沒勁。
評分原來中文翻作書趣 翻得真好 這麼有趣的書真是要慢慢看的 看完瞭會失落的呢
評分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.

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...

評分文笔不错的一本小书,只给了三星,给分这么低,是因为我对里面写的小故事们不是很感兴趣,或者说不是很有共鸣。为什么会如此呢?明明作者文笔挺好、说的又是我感兴趣的读书这件事。 纠结两天才想清楚,正如前言里作者说的,普通人读书是为了乐趣,想从碰到的各种零零碎碎中为自...
評分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...
評分我们每个人都会象巨大的蜗牛般留下痕迹。 一直都写不好书评,反省原因,不外乎没有耐性,无法慢慢阐述书本本身,只顾着抒发自己的感受。 但书给人的最宝贵的东西,不就是这些吗? 下面的东西,与《书趣》几乎没有关系,但又都是书趣——书引发的,属于我自己的小趣味。 人如...
