OK I admit it, I just plain like Margaret Atwood. Yea, Oryx and Crake was a disappointment but I still liked it. And as I mentioned recently, I really enjoyed The Tent. So it’s probably not going to surprise you when I say that I really, REALLY enjoyed The Penolopiad on Sunday, is it? I haven’t read any mythology in awhile so this was an added treat. What did happen to the 12 maids? Was Penelope a female cult leader? Was she a slut? Fun stuff. I don’t know why sassymonkey didn’t enjoy it as much as I did. I’m also not sure where she gets that ‘feel sorry for them” thing. Were we suppose to feel sorry for Penelope or the Maids? What kind of Canadian woman doesn’t really like Atwood anyway? 😉

Umm cause Atwood said that she felt sorry for the maids when she did her reading. I like Atwood. I just don’t enjoy reading her. I even enjoy her books when she reads them but find they fall flat when I read them.
And you’d be surprised – a lot of people don’t actually like reading Atwood. Most people are just too afraid to admit it.
I love to read in bed,

I know Atwood said she felt sorry for the Maids, but I didn’t realize that meant we had to feel sorry for them.
Hi Michele, nice to see you here. 🙂
