Ex Libris is a small book consisting of short personal essays on the subject of books. Each essay is a bite-sized morsel written in an informal style, making it seem like a pleasant conversation with a friend.
A few of the essays inspired introspection, such as about what my library and its organization says about me. I related to Ms Fadiman's character––her impulsive proofreading, her love of bookstores and of reading books in the places they describe––but she didn't offer insights about bibliophilia. Enjoyable but not enriching.
