Saturday Review of Books: October 3, 2009

“No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.”~Atwood H. Townsend

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books.

Here’s how it usually 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.

Thanks to everyone for participating.

  1. Good morning, readers! I like the new look, Sherry. I reviewed a historical fiction graphic novel and my favorite book from childhood this week. I’m reading Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and liking it a lot. Hope to finish by next week!
