Ex Libris is a wonderful book of essays on books and reading by author Anne Fadiman, the daughter of Clifton Fadiman (author of The New Lifetime Reading Plan, among many others).

Her description of the trauma of combining her library with her new husband's books was hilarious, and the tales of her bibliophilic family reminded me of my own family (reading anything and everything at hand, proofreading road signs and menus, etc.). It's a great read, funny, compelling. Great stuff.
