Ex Libris

Ex Libris is a book about being a reader, an exploration that goes beyond books that were being read/reviewed and into the greater surroundings. If looking at someone's library tells you what kind of person they are, Ex Libris admits the reader into the Fadiman household, detailing ordeals such as combining libraries, and how the greatest romantic thing a husband can do is locate a used bookstore she'd never been to before, containing all her favourite types of reading material. This book is hugely relate-able as a reader.
