Well, what do you know, I actually liked Atwood’s Oryx and Crake. It was science fiction, which I didn’t expect, but then again, I hadn’t read the back cover before I started reading. The plot is your typical sci-fi doomsday distopian morality story, but it reads well and is engaging. I still haven’t decided whether I will read any more Margaret Atwood’s books. I just might, but not for a while as I have a whole pile of books to get through until I won’t know what to read any more.
Currently I am reading ‘The Colony of Unrequited Dreams’ by Wayne Johnston. This is all in my quest to read all books I am remotely interested in from the CBC’s Canada Reads list.
