Fiction
Ex Libris
An FSG paperback of Anne Fadiman's essays on reading, book collecting, and the small rivalries of a literary household. She writes about merging libraries with her husband, proofreading compulsively, and the proper way to eat while reading. The prose is civilized without being precious. The FSG cover is understated, the type is comfortable, and the book is short enough to finish in an afternoon if you do not stop to argue with her about marginalia. Ideal reader: the person who has strong opinions about whether it is acceptable to write in books, or the spouse currently negotiating shelf space.
