Saturday Review of Books: July 26, 2008

Jul25

“The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries.”
Rene Descartes

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books. So nice to be back. I apologize about last Saturday’s Review, but feel free to add links to ALL those reviews this week.

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. Doh, I totally forgot to mention the book title in my link – it’s ‘The Lake of Dead Languages’ by Carol Goodman. Sorry!

  5. Well, it must be catching. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t played in a while–but I forgot to mention the book I reviewed in my link also. I reviewed First Light by Bodie and Brock Thoene. Sorry!

  8. I missed the Review last week. Hope you know how much we all appreciate how you’ve got all these readers together to share good books. Thanks!
