Weekly Update!

(No, not really, but I do have a question.)

I’m about seventy pages into the book (I know, slowpoke), but I was just wondering, for the people that have been able to read fairly into the book: which part are you more interested?

“The Blind Assassin” is often described as having a novel-within-a-novel, and while I do enjoy the voice of Iris, I think I’m more attached to the sci-fi story (laden with an illicit affair!). I don’t know if it’s the format of the story (lack of quotation marks, yet there having a clear delineation as to what is being said and what is being narrated). I think the idea is also very interesting, as these two ‘genres’ don’t really get mixed together very often.

Anyway, a couple more questions, Read Hard! members:

How far along are you?
Do you find that you tending towards liking it, or the other way around?
Has anyone here read Atwood’s poetry? (Nothing to do with the book, just looking for other fans.)
