Again...I enjoyed reading Stefanie's take on your questions.

But I really do need to close that gap in my reading of contemporary authors because I know that she's considered to be an important author of our times. I'm going to do it this time... :-)Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-8343786442172260752015-10-21T09:51:58.651-05:002015-10-21T09:51:58.651-05:00Hi Sam,

Looks like you had fun. I've only read one of Margaret Atwood's books, The Blind Assassin, but that was long ago and I can't remember liking it. I'll have to read more of her work.I hear The Handmaid's Tale is very good.

I've heard a lot of specifics about several of her books and it seems there's often that little "something" that makes me think I can spend my reading time elsewhere. I'll start this one in a few days to see what happens. I've got several older ones around, too. Any suggestions?Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-9407328935269597172015-10-20T14:45:05.424-05:002015-10-20T14:45:05.424-05:00Glad to hear she gave such a great presentation.

I read the parts of the book that have been serialized and didn't care for them all that much which was really disappointing. It doesn't seem like this one will be anywhere near her best book so if you don't like much like it in the end, don't hold it against her and try something else!Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943596258182968212noreply@blogger.com
