What was our book club's favorite read? Atonement is the winner! Of the four top 10 lists posted, only Atonement made every single list! Runners up include The Handmaid's Tale (3 votes), and Jane Eyre, The Time Traveler's Wife, East of Eden, Middlesex, The Namesake, and The Blind Assassin (2 votes each).
Also apparently Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin) is our favorite writer!
Now I know this is a skewed sample because Atonement was a controversial book. Several people strongly disliked it! So if you want your opinion known, be sure to post your top 10 list (or send it to me and I'll post it). I'll edit the summary.
The movie version of Atonement is getting awesome reviews. Let's plan to go see it when it comes out in the area.
