There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.”
Charles Dickens
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.

It’s so nice to be blogging again. Thanks for offering this. It keeps me motivated to get the writing done!
Thanks for publishing the Review of Books. I did a fun book this week, an anthropologists explanation of the subcultures in the Tokyo ‘street fashion’ scene. It was a great escape read for me and the photos were great. It is like people watching laid out on paper with an analysis. Have a great day!
I don’t usually do very well with nonfiction; I think of it as the “spinach” of my reading diet. But today I get to feel virtuous for having reviewed a parenting book! Thanks again for your Saturday Review. It serves as a good motivator for me, too.
I am doing a whole series on Richard Weaver’s Ideas Have Consequences. This book has been a huge help to me in clarifying some of my own sloppy thinking.
I’m trying to participate each week as a motivation to read more. This week’s entry is just a children’s book (by JUST I don’t mean to imply anything other than it is short), but I loved it, so I guess it doesn’t matter.
I’ve added mine. Thanks again for doing this.
I see I have a little smiley face next to mine. Its very cute but I don’t know why its there.

I reviewed a new children’s book, as I’m still slogging through Ellison’s Invisible Man.
This is my first post; looking forward to perusing other entries!
Surely do enjoy checking this list every week 🙂
