Read: Anne Fadiman - Rereadings

Hmm. I ordered this one from the library thinking it was a book written by Anne Fadiman, whose "Ex Libris" I loved. However it is only edited by her, with an introduction written by her. Interesting premise - have authors write about books that they first read when young and have since re-read, and what they mean to them. But I wasn't as interested in what all of them had to say as if, I suspect, Anne Fadiman had just written an entire book using this premise herself.
