Saturday Review of Books: November 3, 2007

The world is a library of strange and wonderful books, and sometimes we just need to go prowling through the stacks.”
Michael Dirda

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.

    Hi Sherri, Could you delete #5 – I put the wrong URL in! Number 6 is the correct review for Middlesex. Sorry! And thanks :)

    Oops! Will you please delete #14. It has the correct link, but I put the name of my blog instead of the title of the book. :)

    I only managed to read the 1986 Newbery winner this week – Sarah, Plain and Tall. Sooo much better than I anticipated! Why didn’t I read this years ago? Anyway, I can’t wait to read it to my daughter now.
