Ex libris: confessions of a common reader / Anne Fadiman

If you are a person who enjoys books and cannot live without them, you may like to read about someone like yourself. Anne Fadiman and her family are all accomplished readers and writers who keep a library of their own and are likely to recall and talk about every book they have read (which isn't "just a few"). This quality, intelligent, witty and remarkably thin book will capture you from the first sentence to the very last. In every chapter, she reveals a snippet of her life in such a style you will not be able to help yourself from laughing with delight!

Who would enjoy this? Ages 15+ who LOVE books!
