He gave himself up so wholly to the reading of romances that a-nights he would pore on until it was day, and a-days he would read on until it was night; and thus he sleeping little and reading much the moisture of his brain was exhausted to that degree that at last he lost the use of his reason.
—Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote de la Mancha.
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.

Thanks to everyone for reviewing, blogging, and linking.
Saturday Reviews: Alphabetical by Title. (an unfinished list)
One link to War and Peace, a reading project that lasted nearly a year, and another to a recap of my reading for April.
It’s a children’s book – but a good one!!!
My list of “better listened to than read” books!
There’s plenty of debate as to whether the story behind the song “Follow the Drinking Gourd” is legend or history but, either way, we think it’s a great and worthwhile book.
Thanks Sherry!
