I am really into this book. I actually got up early this morning so I could read some before work.

I didn't want to leave Offred!

I think this is the third time I've read this. It frightens me how many people in this day and age might read this and think the dystopia of Gilead would be a great idea.

Because if I don't read it 2x/yr, my brains fall out.

This is actually scaring the bejezzus out of me

A disturbing book in how women are used but enjoyed it a lot. A classic of sorts. Literary of course.

"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave."

I've decided to create a read list if dystopian novels. Hunger Games series done, finish up The Handmaid's Tale and go from there. I'm excited about this. It'll keep my mind busy.

I've been slacking. Back and focused.

"Freedom, like everything else, is relative."

I suppose it's time to continue reading this lovely book.

Haunting, depressing, fascinating. Timeless. Hard to believe it was written in the 80s. Scary to think it is still very relevant today....

Just finished it's an amazing book that everyone should read. Though maybe not in high school like my wife did. Not sure if the maturity is there yet.

Finished a few days ago, would highly recommend for any fans of dystopian novels.

About 55% through it...it is eerily realistic

Just learned that the hunger games are a dystopian fiction (just learned what that was too) so I've decided to read another acclaimed one.

Reading this. The mother of female led dystopian books.

What happens when women lose their rights.

Rereading because of the relevance.

actually determined to finish this coursework.

Just got done reading this for a woman's literature and loved it. The way your told things is so intresting.

Every time I hear religious anti-women rhetoric, I think "Atwood was right." Seems high time to read this book again.

I was suprised I hadn't ever read this. Very interesting and the issue of women's reproductive rights vs relgion is very topical. I enjoyed the read.

Had to read this in school, it was definitely a fantastic book.

Definitely not my normal genre. It really gives you something to think about.

Found the Modern Library edition at the used bookshop for only 9 bucks!

Thank goodness I have a book with me!

Could I be arrested because I borrowed this book from my girlfriend. Or because I'm reposting this picture. Will Getglue take me down with them? Or am I safe coz I don't live in the sates?

Really good book. Many parallels to American society in the future. Excellent read.
