Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader
by Anne Fadiman
Anne Fadiman and her family are the kind of people that invite friends over to play a game of "do you know the meaning?" It's a game where players earn points with every word that they correctly recognize and define. If that sounds boring to you, so will this book.
Don't get me wrong, it's pleasurable to see a fellow book worm share her love of books (her chapter about used book stores is wonderful). However, this isn't about a book lover talking about the books she loves. This is a book person that wants to showcase how smart she is by the volume of books (particularly classics) that she's read.
I know Dante's "Inferno" is great, Anne. I don't need you to tell me that. Le sigh.
