#53: Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman
I love Anne Fadiman, as I have said before, and Ex Libris is the first book of hers I ever read—it was given to me by an ex-roommate of mine and while our friendship didn’t last (if it ever existed), I still treasure this book and have ghetto laminated (i.e. covered in packing tape) the Annie Bloom’s bookmark she slipped in between the pages; I read Ex Libris at least once a year, and doing so is like crawling into a warm bed on a brisk night and cuddling up with your favorite person in the whole wide world—I love it.
