Doug Baker - Elbows Up! 🇨🇦Well, congrats to this year's #Nobel Prize for literature, but...what has the committee got against #MargaretAtwood? What did she ever do or say to alienate them?

hush404Delving into #margretatwood's #oryxandcrake, both because I hear its quite good and I like her writing. It is good thus far... But also rings kind of scary how close to real life the plot seems to be. I did manage to nab the whole trilogy thanks to a local used bookstore, but immediately following up with volumes 2 and 3 depends on how this goes and how depressing it ends up getting.
MikkiI was slumping a bit with my reading last week, so I decided to reread some favorites and comfort reads. I've been (re)listening to Nicholas Sainsbury Smith's Helldivers series, which is pulpy, over the top, post nuclear apocalypse, monster fun. Also been rereading Oryx and Crake and taking my sweet time with it. Been a while since I read it, but I still love it so much. I'm definitely the kind of person who binge reads for a couple of weeks and then needs a bit of a break, so even though I love this story, it's one of my favorite books of all time, it's been a week and I'm not even halfway through. Been steadily making my way through a pile of WIPs for the last week though, which really needed to get done as well. Frogged a lot, finished even more, hoping to get through it all before the big move!
Anyway, how's your reading going? Slumping? Going steady? Discovered some gems already this year?

Mind-blowingly close to our lives now.
Do you hope to die quickly with a killer pathogen, or struggle to survive post #apocalypse with the responsibility of caring for a new version of the human race? Should we leave the Crakes untouched by colonialism?
Please no spoilers, I'm hoping to read The Year of the Flood next.
