Ex Libris  (English, Paperback, Fadiman Anne)

The book Ex Libris: Confessions Of A Common Reader, contains a number of essays that portray the author’s love for reading books. From being gifted 19 pounds of old books for her birthday by her spouse, to being highly engrossed by reading an old manual of a Toyota car, the author documents her past experiences in life, in the form of a book. She also tells the reader that she only accepted the fact she is married, when they joined their collection of books. She also throws light on her fascination for utilizing complex words, proofreading and the pleasure derived from reading loudly. This book establishes the balance between wit and learnedness. This proves the fact that Anne Fadiman is one of the few best essayists in our modern-day world.
