Starting this:



"A book fundamentally concerned with the role of language as an imaginative liberation." Sounds awesome.

I'm around 80 pages in. It's not as instantly readable as Kraken because the world is so alien but once you start to understand what all the lingo means it's super interesting.

Hooked me immediately. I kind wondered if it might be stodgy... I've never read any Atwood and the cover looked like maybe that kind of book. But no, this is pretty great already :)
