Saturday Review of Books: February 2, 2008

The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”
Ursula LeGuin

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.

  1. Well, this is my last week to participate as a blogger but I will be back to read reviews weekly. Thanks for the good work, Sherry!

  2. “The Witch of Blackbird Pond” was the 1959 Newbery winner – one that I didn’t appreciate as a child, but liked a lot today. Surprisingly good history of colonial New England (especially CT).
