Saturday Review of Books: February 28, 2008

Feb27

“Give me books, fruit, French wine, and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by somebody I do not know.”
~John Keats

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books.

Here’s how it usually 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.

Thanks to everyone for participating.

  2. Oops! I was trying to put up both mine and Cassandra’s reviews, and forgot to change the title of the book in parenthesis, so number 30 is wrong, if you get a chance to pull it down!

    Thanks!

  8. Morning, all! Today’s my birthday, and I’m feeling good that books are such an important part of my life–my life matches up with my values. This week was a nice mix–collection of poetry, comic-book memoir, and a novel about New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina that I recommend especially for those who love Grapes of Wrath. It’s a novel about America and social justice and it really moved me.
