Just finished Oryx and Crake by Atwood. Her writing is as sharp as ever, with that wandering narrative style that I've come to associate with her. The book is definitely science fiction, as she takes pains to make the future world seem real to the reader, though the science is of course, soft.
I thought the book was excellent, and I highly recommend it to fans of dystopian futures and character studies, which are the two main features of the book. This is a very cool take on the idea of being the last man on earth (sorta), as our protagonist is not the fellow you'd pick out of a lineup for the job.
Next up, since I'm alternating well known author with Smashwords author, is none other than Maisy May. I hear that one's not bad.
