Book Reviews of Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader

Book Review: It was hard to put down....
Summary: 5 Stars

I'd planned to read this one slowly - an essay a day perhaps? - afterall, I can manage just one Godiva chocolate a day - but resisting Fadiman is harder than resisting chocolate!

These are such delightful, thought-provoking little pieces.

All that and no calories.

Book Review: A Joy to Read
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this book and Anne Fadiman. In nearly every essay, I found myself laughing out loud and sharing the same sentiment she also has for books.

I recommend it to anyone who loves reading books about books.

Two thumbs up!


Book Review: Share your bibliomania!
Summary: 5 Stars

Collected essays about books - what could be better than to take a dip into someone else's bibliomania! Have you ever worried about moving books into a new home? Pondering storage for your books? What a wonderful psychosis. Very enjoyable.

Book Review: My favorite book about books
Summary: 5 Stars

The best book on bibliophilia out there. I have kept this book by my bedside for years, and never tire of it. Fadiman is a smartypants, a comedian, and a sincere book lover who offers comfort and joy!

Book Review: Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader
Summary: 5 Stars

For me this is a special book. Anne Fadiman writes beautiful, amusing vignettes about writing, books, and her family. I bought two extra copies to give to friends.
