    Let me try that again:

    Finished A Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. 311 pages. Makes Harvard Yard seem waaaaay scarier. Whenever Atwood mentioned Luke, the husband, I couldn’t help but picture Luke from Gilmore Girls, which really wasn’t appropriate.

    • Ah, truly a classic. I always felt that book should have been more scary than it actually was, though. I’m not a fan of Atwood’s writing style. I thought the concept was terrifying and in the hands of a better (or at least different) writer, I would have actually felt some emotional impact while reading it. But it’s definitely one I’m glad I read, just because it’s so iconic.

    • I love A Handmaid’s Tale! And I did the Gilmore Girls thing…

      Have you read any other Atwood?
