While people who haven't read Oryx and Crake will have no problem with "The Year of the Flood", I would suggest reading Oryx and Crake first. In fact, I suspect that I might re-read Oryx and Crake after finishing "the Year of the Flood" as the two really complement each other and add depth to each others' storylines. I have a couple of contenders for "next novel I will read" and can't choose... I am thinking something light, maybe a Diana Wynne Jones novel.

Agreed. I pulled out Oryx and Crake and re-read a bit myself after finishing "Flood" but I do wish it had been fresher in my mind, I think it would have enhanced the reading experience.
