I'm in the middle of Margaret Atwood's Stone Mattress, having just finished (and really liked, which seems to be a fairly unpopular opinion) her The Heart Goes Last.
I also really enjoyed The Heart Goes Last! It was absurd and fun.
I have weird opinions on Atwood though -- my favourite of hers is Surfacing, which it seems most people haven't even *heard* of, and while I admire Handmaid's Tale, I didn't connect to it while reading it, and found it a bit of a slog (I may have been too young, and perhaps should read it again sometime).
I completely agree! Surfacing is my favorite, also (though I do kind of cringe when I recall the pretentious college paper I wrote about it...).
Oh that's too funny, I think I wrote a paper on it (or at least an essay on an exam) in university too. Read it for a class called Philosophy and Canadian Literature. I discovered so many favourite (and not-so-favourite) books in that class.
