More light summer reading

While I’ve seen the movie for The HandMaid’s Tale, and even heard the abridged version on tape, I’ve never read the book. It was fun. Better than I expected actually. I’m not a fan of Margaret Atwood. I find her endings weak and her approach about as subtle as a sledgehammer. Still, the way this book ends, I rather enjoyed. I like it when books talk about how unreliable they are.

I’m moving on to Dracula – another classic I’ve never read. When I was in high school I volunteered doing tech stuff at the college theatre and worked on the adaptation of Dracula which I was enamoured with at the time, although my English teacher said it was a dreadful version. So, I’ve picked up the annotated version used in first year English and have only just made my way through the introduction that has told me this book is all about sex. So it must be good, right?
