What Members Thought
Decided to re-read this after many years. Just a pertinent now as when it came out...possibly more. I see it differently after having my own child. It moved me more this time.
This is a profoundly thought-provoking book. I tried to start it once before years ago and gave up within the first few pages; I can't imagine why now. The scariest thing about this book is that it really seems vaguely plausible, perhaps now more than ever. Atwood has a way of getting to the root of society and pinpointing what is wrong and how it could actually go given the right set of circumstances.

Probably the most resonating book I read in 2014. Can't believe I didn't read it earlier.

Enthralling through and through. Read it before watching the Hulu series!
