Moral Disorder by Margaret Atwood.

I love anything she writes. This is a gorgeous little story about family, women, growing up, and the emotional ride that is life.

I can always relate to so much that she has to say.

Doesn't she write sci-fi?

Author of The Handmaid's Tale?

Albeit, I have never read any of her works so I wouldn't know. I am just assuming more or less.

Sci-fi? Haha no. Essentially I would say she writes feminist literature.

1984 is a good book. I read BNW (brave new world) and it's a pretty decent book.

Margaret Atwood is amazing. At the moment I'm reading 'The Corrections' by Jonathan Franzen. I bought it for my mother for her birthday and a fellow boser suggested I read it. Pretty fucking amazing to say the least.

Wind-up Bird Chronicle - Haruki Murakami
I'm a fan of Murakami's novels, and so far this has been one of my favourites. It's a pretty long novel so I've been inconsistently reading it over the span of a year.

did they ask you for ID when you bought it?

I borrowed it off a friend but I could see why they would ask for ID when buying it haha

Do they actually do that though?
I wouldn't know, but whenever I see it in a bookstore it's always in tamper-proof plastic wrapping with a fat r-rating sticker on the front.

I was underwhelmed by the movie, so I really want to read it.

Currently reading Considering Phlebas by Ian M. Banks. I like it quite a lot so far (only up to page 78 of over 400 mind you). Reminds me quite a bit of Dune.

I love reading =)
