Saturday Review of Books: February 23, 2008

Feb23

Learning to read . . . we slowly learn to read ourselves. Once we learn how to read, even if then we do not live more wisely, we can at least begin to be aware of why we have not.”
Mark Shorer

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.

  3. Thanks again for doing this. I have been away for about a month, so I have a lot of reviews now to catch up on! 🙂

  6. Love your quote for today. I linked to my post on ‘Diary of a Country Priest’… Not an easy read, but a worthwhile one. Thanks for the opportunity to share my review.

  8. Hi! I’m new to book blogging, and to this site (a homeschooling friend led me here)… I’ve linked to a review of a great introductory book on Homeschooling that I read this week, “How to Home School” by Gayle Graham.

  9. Finished Austen’s Northanger Abbey last night, just in time to review it and link to it today. It was my second read, and a richer, more enjoyable one than the first.
