I haven't picked that one up yet but it does look good. By far, Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake are my favourites of hers, both a bit similar in their dystopic outlook. However, Surfacing also really really sucked me in. It's another kind of weird one but really REALLY good.

Another one that I would really recommend is Cats Eye.

(she's what stopped me from being a total socialist - i relized i'm too much of an elitist/meritocratist ) i just always had to skip the inevitable rant at the end. -------------------- jaime ibs-a (mostly d) // vegetarian Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     I'm totally with you on Gabriel Garcia Marquz, Laurel!       #238276 - 01/13/06 11:37 AM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 Ah..."Love in the Time of Cholera!" I'm staring at it right now. Might have to make Marquz my bedfellow for the afternoon. I love Isabel Allende, too--"The Stories of Eva Luna" most especially. I completely agree re: "The Handmaid's Tale." Honestly, it has marked me for life! Speaking of Canadians, I find Robertson Davies a lot of fun. Okay, I think I like your library! Kate.

I know! OK, I didn't read Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged or anything as a fifth grader, just her play The Night of January 16th, which I probably read about twenty times, but since then I can't help but love her Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     I WAS Laura Ingalls!       #238319 - 01/13/06 02:28 PM Edit Reply Quote poochibelly Reged: 04/27/05 Posts: 1614 I was so like the Laura who let Nelly stand in the creek just so she would get leeches on her legs...serves her right for being a prissy-pus!
