Somehow managed to remain ignorant of the existence of a sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, but I procured it today at a work book exchange, and now I'm thinking of re-reading the first one, over a decade after the first time, and post-Trump too. Annoying I saw it in a few #CharityShops this week but never picked it up. #books#bookstodon@bookstodon 📖
A confession to barbarism, of sorts, now. With a few exceptions, mostly Shakespeare at his most lyrical, I've never really got poetry. Leaves me cold. Can't explain it. To rectify this nonsense, I picked this up from, you guessed it, one of my routine #CharityShops. Paterson's introduction to Shakespeare's Sonnets was an excellent read, so hopefully he can salvage my humanity. #books#bookstodon@bookstodon 📖
