Saturday Review of Books: September 15, 2007

The first thing naturally when one enters a scholar’s study or library, is to look at his books. One gets the notion very speedily of his tastes and the range of his pursuits by a glance round his book-shelves..”
Oliver Wendell Holmes

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.

  1. A slightly more depressing book than I’m used to reviewing, but an interesting read and a very powerful look at death.

  2. Thanks for hosting once again, and I totally do that (the quote above) with every house I go into!

  3. I finished my third book for the Saturday Review of Books Challenge, Broken For You. My review is posted on my blog. 🙂 The link can be found above.
