Bloodorange
I'm a GoodReads user testing new waters after the serious website changes. I mostly read fiction, usually Anglophone classics/ modern classics; I like nonfiction (mostly social and cultural history), good fantasy and graphic novels. For guilty pleasure, I read advice and how-to books.
I made at least two reading resolutions recently; 1. read less, live more; 2. read books which give me more pleasure. I have poor filters, and books I find stylistically pleasing tend to be depressing, so I need to do something about that; if you think you know a book that is very well written, but won't make me weep, please drop me a line.
The Handmaid's Tale
I've been teaching this book for seven years straight, and I'm only reluctantly dropping it for a year from my curriculum, to get some new perspective. It's very rich. Love how Atwood extrapolated on actual historical events and the anti-porn alliance between the feminists and the conservatists.
