Saturday Review of Books: August 30, 2008

Aug29

“There are no bad books any more than there are ugly women.”
~Anatole France

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books.

Here’s how it works. Find a review on your blog posted sometime this week of a book you’re reading or a book you’ve read. The review doesn’t have to be a formal sort of thing. You can just write your thoughts on a particular book, a few ideas inspired by reading the book, your evaluation, quotations, whatever.

Now post a link here to the specific post where you’ve written your book review. Don’t link to your main blog page because this kind of link makes it hard to find the book review, especially when people drop in later after you’ve added new content to your blog. In parentheses after your name, add the title of the book you’re reviewing. This addition will help people to find the reviews they’re most interested in reading.

  6. This is becoming part of my Saturday morning routine. Thanks for hosting this! It’s a lot of fun to see what everyone is reading and their thoguhts. 🙂

  7. I finally finished Hamlet, along with the intro and all the foot- and end-notes! And followed it up with Zot!, a great YA graphic novel.
