Ex Libris

Book • 1957
Anne Fadiman's 'Ex Libris' is a delightful collection of essays that celebrates the unique relationship between readers and their books.

With wit and charm, Fadiman explores various aspects of the reading life, from the joy of browsing bookstores to the challenges of lending books to friends.

She delves into her own bookish habits and quirks, sharing anecdotes about her family's bibliophilia and her own experiences as a devoted reader.

The essays touch on themes such as the importance of marginalia, the allure of used books, and the emotional connections we forge with the stories and characters we encounter.

'Ex Libris' is a warm and inviting tribute to the enduring power of books and the pleasures of reading.
