This is just a reminder that our discussion of "Oryx & Crake" by Margaret Atwood will take place next Monday, Sept. 22nd. Ideally, it will continue for the better part of the week.
There's a lot of material here, so hopefully everyone will get involved. If, for some utterly ridiculous reason, you did not read the book, I suggest you tune in regardless. As I said, there's a lot to discuss, even if you're slightly out of the literary loop.
Be thinking: sex (particularly in regards to age and commerce), class and culture wars, genetic engineering, gender and literary bias, perspective (how much do we trust our narrator?) etc.
