My love for Atwood is based on her satiric/dystopian worlds, so I've only dipped into her other novels.<br />Teena, I haven't read the Penelopiad. My inability to continue standing in line two years ago was based on being home before kid bedtime.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-59673024692493578212009-07-14T16:55:03.867-04:002009-07-14T16:55:03.867-04:00Not to make you too jealous but when Margaret Atwo...Not to make you too jealous but when Margaret Atwood came to Atlanta I waited in the line until the end and got a signature or two... <br /><br />But I haven't read the book I got singed, the Penelopiad.

I'd highly recommend reading it this summer.<br />But SFP, I didn't find rereading it necessary--the parts I didn't remember well were brought back when I read about them in this one.<br />PAJ, I loved that line. Had to quote it!<br />Lori, I have a great bookstore manager at the college bookstore who likes to get opinions on the ARCs publishers send him. There should be more bookish people like him in the world.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-89051055228350358592009-07-13T16:55:57.085-04:002009-07-13T16:55:57.085-04:00I'm SO looking forward to getting The Year of ...I'm SO looking forward to getting The Year of the Flood when it's released.

Not sure why; I guess I just haven't gotten around to it, never mind the enormous pile of books I own that I haven't read yet. Maybe I'll check it out soon in preparation for this one. I love Handmaid's Tale.FreshHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051170717740487431noreply@blogger.com
