This was a charming book of essays by Anne Fadiman, author of another great collection of essays about books called Ex Libris. It is filled with familiar essays, which find the middle ground between the completely personal and the completely academic essay. Some I didn't enjoy as much. I particularly liked the first one in the book about the history and her history of collecting and naming butterflies.
