Book: Lady OracleAuthor: Margaret Atwood
"I planned my death carefully; unlike my life, which meandered along from one thing to another, despite my feeble attempts to control it. My life had a tendency to spread, to get flabby, to scroll and festoon like the frame of a baroque mirror, which came from following the line of least resistance."
These are actually the opening lines to the novel. I found it to be a very unique way to start, and it totally drew me in!

I love Margaret Atwood, she has such a way with words. Fantastic teaser!
That sounds excellent! I love Margaret Atwood and this is one of the books of hers that I haven't read, but I really want to now!
My teaser this week is from Shirley Hazzard, who is up for the Lost Booker Prize this year.
Great teaser! I have only tried reading The Handmaid's Tale (which I didn't like) but I really liked the way this book begins. I hope you are enjoying it.
Whitney - She does! I love her writing.
Becky - I'm really ejoyed the book so far. You should read it!
Christina - Really, you didn't like The Handmaid's Tale? You should try some of Atwood's other books, then!
