It's very funny and might even persuade me to try some Iris Murdoch again. <br />Glad you love Ex Libris too (am just feeling bad about spelling Anne's name wrong).

I was one of those who posted about this book recently and came down on the didn't like it so much side of things.<br /><br />And Ex Libris is one of my favorite books of all time. As is Alan Bennett's The Uncommon Reader. It is fiction, but its focus is books and it perhaps the most joyous book on books I have ever read.

I am finding the online chatter about this book interesting but I am not sure I am in a hurry to rush out and read it, but I also love reading about the love of reading and books. Enjoyed your review very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
