Well, she is fortunately still with us — and a new book to come out this year, I think.

The Handmaid’s Tale may be the most brilliant of the Atwood I’ve read — the way the last section of the book (“Historical Notes”) completely changes everything that came before is marvellous, and actually what I wrote said essay on. I could go on for pages (13 of them, to be specific…)

The Handmaid's Tale is also right up there with me too...I still have Atwood books yet to read, which makes me happy. The day I read her last book and have no more to look forward to (as a first time reading it) I will be bummed! Wendy’s latest blog post:Why…

I've read The Robber Bride several times, and enjoyed it very much. But Alias Grace is my definite favourite -- and after last year's term paper, The Handmaid's Tale is probably the one I know the best. That lady is one smart cookie.

Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite authors because I do think her writing is just brilliant. Every time I read one of her books I am just in awe of her talents. I loved Alias Grace, but I love The Robber Bride even more. Have you read that one yet? Wendy’s latest blog post:Why…

I snapped up a copy of Alias Grace at a library sale this summer for a buck! Can’t wait to read it! I love it when used books have surprises inside.
