A good book is never exhausted. It goes on whispering to you from the wall.”
Anatole Broyard
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.

Saturday Reviews: Alphabetical by Title. (an unfinished list)
Don’t forget to join in on the Saturday Review of Books Reading Challenge.
Just taking another look at a classic.
I got back into reading some juvenile fiction this week.
Taking a look at one of this year’s hot titles for young adults. Thanks for compiling reviews.
Three young adult graphic novels this week. One very good, one very funny, and one fairly lame. In a complete tone shift, I started reading Mary Gaitskill. I have literary whiplash.
I’ve linked to my Bookgroup books roundup for 2007. Thanks!
I did two more Newbery winners this week – the 1941 winner (Call It Courage), recommended – and the 1942 winner (The Matchlock Gun), not recommended.
Only two this week, one Christmas collection, and a memoir. Next week, I hope to have an essay collection by Nora Ephron, a classic young adult novel, and a few others *crosses fingers*
Can’t believe I forgot to post what I had blogged about last week. Just put it in. I’m reading Crazy for God, a memoir by Francis Schaeffer. Update since I blogged about it: I am half way through the 400 page book. It is very read-able, entertaining and Schaeffer is a very good storyteller. It starts with his early childhood and more or less progresses forward through his life, I’m at his teen years now but not yet at where he gets his girlfriend pregnant and marries her.
