...MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood. I loved Oryx and Crake, the first novel in the trilogy which MaddAddam concludes, and though I was disappointed that it wasn't a stand-alone novel (I think the ending of Oryx and Crake would have been sublime if it had been allowed to stand as the ending of the story), I wanted to see the tale through. But--truth be told--I did not love MaddAddam; I'm pretty sure I didn't even like it. And since my not warming to it was making me not want to read, I decided to power through and finish the second half of the novel in one sitting. Now it's time to read something else, and that's a good thing.
(Another truth be told: I really do admire Margaret Atwood, so I feel bad admitting that I was so let down by MaddAddam. I'm a fan not only of Oryx and Crake but also of The Handmaid's Tale and The Edible Woman.)
