YEAH!!
I am in…
I love reading!!!
I really like reading history, philosophy and political books. But I am game for whatever you guys want.
Reservation Blues sounds good or And They Fought Like Demons.
Just let me know.
Yeah!!
I am so happy I did my happy dance in my chair…🙂

Great idea! Count me in. And I’ll cast another vote for _The Handmaid’s Tale_. I’ve wanted to read it for a long time–but I always wind up going with something else. This would be the perfect motivation.

I am also in. I have been longing for a book club…
I have never read “The Handmaid’s Tale” - I have never heard of it, have no idea what its about or even what genre it is. Perfect. 🙂

I’m in. I’ve read “The Handmaid’s Tale” and will cast yet another vote for it being the first book.
I’d love to discuss it.

So, should I start reading The Handmaid’s Tale? Sounds like it!

And for those who are too lazy to read, it’s also a movie!\*
😃
\*I am sure that the movie is not a good adaptation of the book and loses many aspects of Atwood’s writing. I would not seriously recommend watching the movie over reading the book.
