I have read A Doll's House and quite liked it, but that was quite a few years ago already and I don't really remember it at all.

Now I really want to read it again but I should really work on my paper. Meh. My brain is not in the right state for anything academic right now. I just need pointless videos and silly conversations and perhaps a children's book or something.

i have read a few of margaret atwoods, and im not really a fan of her writing style so much, but i do love the fact she can switch genres quite easily, from the futuristic stuff that could happen to books like the blind assassain that were set in the early 1900's. i'm REALLY  enjoying it, i cant seem to put it down...

I had only heard of Handmaiden's Tale before reading this book, so I didn't know what to expect, but I wound up neglecting my research far too much for the next few days because of Oryx and Crake

I am currently reading Giraffes? Giraffes!. It comes highly recommended.

I think his works are prefaced by so much bullshit that people go into them already jaded, I mean how many times have you heard some comment like "I asked for a phonebook/report/directions, not War and Peace!". When I was in college I took an Honors Russian Lit course, and all we did was read Tolstoy and talk about it. Its the only course I ever got better than a perfect 100% average in, i just got into Tolstoy that much.

I completely agree with that. It has become one of those books that people only associate with pretentious Lit grad students and wind up avoiding as a result.

i had to read handmaid's tale for a college literature class and loved it, hence the reason i went out and bought a lot of atwood's books. but i generally dont like to read much of the same author all at once, so i put them aside for later...
