I popped into the library today to drop off a cd and pick another one up. A copy of The Year of the Flood, Margaret Atwood's latest, caught my eye. Margaret Atwood rocked my world when I read The Handmaid's Tale...right around the time I started college, I think. I loved it and was electrified by it.
These days, finding time...making time...to read is tricky. I am much more likely to pick up a graphic novel or watch some tv at the end of my day.
Therefore, I'm not sure why I decided to borrow The Year of the Flood, but I did. It has gotten great reviews, and turns out to be related to a novel of Atwood's called Oryx and Crake, which I read at Berkeley M's behest.
I linked to a NYT review of the novel written by Jeanette Winterson. You can find that "In My Reading Basket" on the sidebar.
What are you reading/wishing you had time to read these days?

Hope you find the time to read your book. I just picked up the book The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. So far I really like it. Of course I'm able to find time to read on my train ride to and from work.
I've heard of that book...can't remember how or why :-) Glad you're enjoying your book!
