May 2016

She is an amazing person. I read Oryx & Crake back when it first came out and my remembrance is a bit dim. I had to listen to The Year of the Flood twice (28 hours!) to really grasp all that was going on. She sure imagined some freaky hybrids but her take on humans was quite accurate. Now I'm into book 3 which I will say a bit about in today's pinned post.

Something that really cracks me up though is Adam One. Do you remember that TV series from long ago? Every time they would mention him I could just hear that old police radio crackling out, "One Adam One, One Adam One."
