Saturday Review of Books: July 14, 2007

Jul13

If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

  1. Thank you, again, for hosting SRB. It’s a joy to hang around other book lovers. I was out of town last Saturday, so I’ve got two weeks of reviews.

  2. First time linking to a review and I see I forgot to put the book! Mine was Carson McCullers’ The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. I’ve been enjoying reading the Saturday Review for a few weeks now – what a great idea. And I’m thinking about joining the challenge as well 🙂

  3. Hi Sherry – this is my first time contributing to the Saturday Book Reviews. I just wanted to say I find this a wonderful idea. Thank you so much for hosting it!

  4. This week’s review is of a book I got from my kids fro Father’s Day. The book is a mixture of Engvall’s life and his comedy.

  8. “Joyful Noise” is a short collection of poetry, meant to be read aloud, and the 1989 Newbery winner. Suitable for all ages, but *very* different from the other Newbery medalists I’ve read so far.

  9. Just coming back to add “Origin”, by Diana Abu-Jaber – a very good mystery. Nice to read about freezing in upstate NY in the hottest part of July.
