The Handmaid's Tale
Margaret Atwood
Genre: Fiction
Read in 2024
This book was first published in 1985. The dystopian world described in the book is very well imagined, thought-out, with all the details that really makes the reader believe that such a world does really exists or existed.
Thankfully, such a world does not exist and hope it never does.
The author has done a fantastic job of thinking from all angles.
Gender, religion, lust, power, freedom, history, evidence, truth, politics, etc.
Not for the faint hearted.
Control is an illusion.

And one of my favorites:
(A couple approach the desk)
BOOKSELLER: Can I help you find something?
MAN: Yeah, we're looking for a vocabulary book. It's either called The Soars or The Sars.
BOOKSELLER: Let me look it up and see what we have.
WOMAN: Oh, it's OK; I made a note of the title.
(Customer pulls a napkin from her purse and lays it down for the bookseller to read. Written on it is: 'The Saurus.')
Two of my favorites:
1.
CUSTOMER: Someone should have taught that Shakespeare guy to spell. I mean, am I right, or am I right?
2.
CUSTOMER: Do you have a book of mother-in-law jokes? I want to give it to my mother-in-law as a joke. But, you know, not really as a joke at all.
