THE YEAR OF THE FLOOD by Margaret Atwood

Finished Fr 7/22/11

"CorpSeCorp" Corporations Security Corps

"Eating a nosebleed" (eating meat)

"Caviar is like eating salty bubbles"

This is a novel that I read because of my book club. We met at 6pm, Wednesday 7/27/11 at 6pm at the library. I rode the bike to the meeting, and the temps were in the triple digits for the Discomfort Index.

Nice discussion, and I was surprised that everyone seemed to like the book. They were not fans of Science Fiction, even 'Social Science Fiction', in this case, but they really liked the writing style of Margaret Atwood.

Here are some links, that might help to fill in the blanks:
