Ah, the Handmaid’s Tale. I think that deserves to go on my “books to reread” list too. Cheers from a fellow grad student!
wow you are so cool to have a reading list, we are so alike
I don’t want credit here though.
Two suggestions: “The Collector,” by John Fowles and “Catch-22,” by Joseph Heller. It would have been three, but you already have “Slaughterhouse-Five” on your list. . .
If you really like the feminist perspective, then try Nicola Griffith.
Wow! Thanks for that suggestion, rhbee! I just looked at some of her stuff on amazon, and it looks great.
I’m glad wordpress’ weird new feature made you venture to my little blog!
I read Always first which is the third in a series and then went to her website and discovered that she has a very hands-on blog. She is well worth the visit. Very Zen.
hey! first off, sweet reading list. i like a lot of these books. if you are into feminist theory you should check out Cunt: A Declaration of Independence by Inga Muscio. Here is the link to her page:
