Ive started reading Oryx and Crake by Margret Atwood a few weeks ago on my way to LA. The first few pages are just so hard to get through tbh. The style Atwood uses just seems really dry to me. It really resembles the first few chapters of Handmaids Tale. I think that its just the way Atwood choses to write. I know towards the end of Handmaids tale, the story picked up a lot and it go very interesting so i know that somewhere along in this book, it will get interesting.

The book that I have chosen is Oryx and Crake by Margret Atwood. I wanted to read a dystopian book because I feel like sad, depressing, horrible future books are the books that im the most interested to. Personally, I dont like reading. In 5th grade, they used to force us to read and i think thats where i lost interest in picking up a book for fun, so finding a book that looked or sounded “Interesting” to me was hard. At first, i wanted to read 1984 by Orwell, but it was already taken. My second pick was Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury, but apparently it was “too middle school” for me.
