Saturday Review of Books: June 27, 2009

Jun26

“What a delicious thing reading is-not to be you anymore but to flow throughout the whole universe you’re reading about.”
~Gustave Flaubert

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. I love your new blog look! I’ve been reading through Google Reader, so didn’t notice until I clicked over to leave my link for Saturday Review. And another wonderful surprise is that I can leave a comment again!

  4. Love your new blog look! I read your blog via GoogleReader so I am not certain how long you have had the look changed…it looks great.

  9. The new template is lovely, and very summery. I started reading Infinite Jest for the Infinite Summer challenge, so I’ll be posting links for each week’s update.
