Loved <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i>. I have <i>The Year of the Flood</i> waiting in my TBR pile.

I've heard good things about the book.<br /><br />Best book I've read in the last year or so is The Blind Assassin, by Margaret Atwood.

A slow read, lots of narrative summary, but a brilliantly-written book (it's literary fiction, though, not spec fic).Ethanhttp://www.effingnobody.comnoreply@blogger.com
