The book starts with this:
When the Irish novelist John Mcgahern was a child, his sisters unlaced and removed one of his shoes while he was reading. He did not stir. They placed a straw hat on his head. No response. Only when they took away the wooden chair on which he was sitting did he, as he puts it, "wake out of the book."
I was such a child
-- and I was such a child.

Scintillating. 書痴談書，頁頁痴絕。

谁说这本书好看来着，全是美国人的对自己的obsession.没劲。

一个爱书之人的独白与趣闻，虽然有些近乎于一种obsession，但人生中有这样的热爱是幸福而温情的。

很多年前美國國會圖書館辦了一本雜誌叫做Civilization(曲高和寡,沒幾年就結束營業),其中我最愛看的就是Anne Fadiman在上頭的專欄.Fadiman一家都是書蟲(她父親最有名的一本書,叫做"一生的讀書計劃"),她的專欄裡頭講的全是各式各樣的書有關的事情,集結成書,就是這本Ex Libris.對我這個book nerd而言,讀起來真是大有吾道不孤之感,只可惜當年雜誌裡頭同樣精彩的漫畫沒放進來,不然就完美了.
