The Saturday Review of Books went well for the first week: sixteen people posted reviews. I think we’ll try it again this Saturday.

For the uninitiated, here’s how it works. Post a review 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, whatever.

Then, on Saturday, come to Semicolon and post a link 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. Please add only one book review per customer per week. (However, if your children, friends, orother family members have their own blogs and have written on a book, they are welcome to add their own link.) In parentheses after your name, add the title of the book you’ve written about. This addition will help people to find the reviews they’re most interested in reading.

Finally, follow the links to read other people’s book reviews for the week. You might discover some books to add to your list (or some books to avoid).

Happy reading!
