Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman

4.0

This collection of essays, originally written as column items in Civilization, the magazine of the Library of Congress, of which the author was the editor, is great reading. Ann Fadiman comes from what the blurb calls a 'pathologically literary family' and her love of books is evident in every word she writes. She also writes in an entertaining fashion, which makes tjis book a pleasure to read.
