Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman

4.0

---

I especially loved the first chapter of this book, on "marrying libraries." Although that is something I don't have to worry about because my husband is not a reader. I have to admit, though, I cringed every time the author mentioned writing in the margins of books. To each his (his'er?) own, I suppose, but in my mind, someone who truly loves and respects books would never write in them.
