Books must be read as deliberately and as reservedly as they were written.”
Henry David Thoreau
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.

Back into reading again. Starting off with something a little easier but very fun.

“The Giver”, by Lois Lowry was a great book that I might have missed if not for The Newbery Project. Very thought-provoking, though definitely disturbing in parts (maybe not suitable for kids under 11-12 years old).

I’ve been on a “best of 2007″ binge, thanks to The Morning News, who is having a Tournament of Books for those of us book geeks who read instead of follow college basketball. So far: On Chesil Beach, Vendela Vida’s Let the NOrthern Lights Erase Your Name, and What the Dead Know. All of them are worthwhile reads. Next up: An Arsonist’s Guide to Writers’ Homes in New England. Happy reading, all!
