School has now been in session for a little over a month and with teaching fifth grade all day my reading time is severely restricted. My newest find is not a new book, albeit a great book. My advice is run and get a copy of The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. The book won the Booker Prize in 2000 and Time magazine named it the best novel of 2000. I am only sad that I did not discover the book for nine years! My oldest child recommended the book and I take all the credit for their excellent taste in literature. My fear is that there are thousands of wonderful novels that I am not aware of.
Atwood writes prose like poetry and several times I re-read paragraphs simply because they were so wonderfully written.
