I join a book club and i met some friends. That's cool. So what book are you guys reading this month? We are reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Have you read that? It is quite good so far and it has been a fun group! I have never heard of it. What's it about so far? It's somewhat of a murder mystery set in 1969, but is about so much more than just that. It really connects nature, and coming of age. I haven't gotten too far into it but I am really enjoying it so far. Are you reading anything right now? I just finished reading 1984. I know you think I would have read it in high school as required reading. Anyway, given everything that has been happening lately I am really into science fiction with the dystopian bent. I actually reread 1984 recently too with everything going on in the world! It is so scary to think about dystopian futures and the possibility of things heading that way. Isn't it bizarre how relevant it still is to this day? What is the saying, "Learn from history or you are doomed to repeat it"? ...something like that. It's something along those lines, but it is so incredibly true. I think the really interesting thing about dystopian literature is that it's more of what could potentially happen rather than history, and while it is supposed to serve as a warning, we tend not to listen to the warnings as a society. Some are potential but as Atwood insists, hers are created from those that have happened or are happening now. However, you are right, the overall message is sent to warn but almost always ignored. That is really interesting about Atwood. I will have to look into that more as I have not read a lot of her writing before. Any recommendations? Too many to chose from but you should start with her most famous, The Handmaids Tale. This was required reading in high school and is what made me become a fan of her work ever since.
