Life Before Man – Margaret Atwood
This book was published in the 70s, which makes Atwood about 3298493 years old, or about the same age as a dinosaur. Apparently back then she was more depressing than a St. John’s winter. Still gorgeous writing, though.

Yeah, I love her too! Wasn’t overly impressed by this one though. I’m waiting to get my hands on her latest one as well…can’t believed I missed her talk when she was here.

That lady’s writing makes me want to drink a bottle of bourbon and sleep forever. AKA: depressed.

My favorite line from that one is “a man is just a woman’s strategy for making other women.” 🙂
