Hello! It is Tuesday Trivia and we are playing “Name That Book” this week. Here is the first line, choose the title.
From the 1998 Book Cover, the New York Times called it “A cautionary tale, a story of resistance, and a work of impeccable world-building” and the Houston Chronicle wrote, “An excellent novel…Read it while it’s still allowed.”
I have been pondering this book for awhile – perhaps avoiding is a better word. Reading its description of a dystopian future of enslaved women, I fear that it is a bit too realIstic in America 2022. With that said, I am going in — It is next on my To Read Stack.
Did you get the correct title? I hope you are enjoying Tuesday Trivia. Please invite your friends to visit and play long as well.

Apparently I am not good at remembering first lines. It’s the only one of the three that I have read and I got it wrong. I’m not a fan of dystopian novels but I did enjoy it. I can’t disagree with your parallel with some of the things going on right now.

Oh, I just read The Handmaid’s Tale recently. My son’s studies it in English, in his last year of high school. I advised him to look at it as if it was any other cold war read, because that’s something he’s interested in. This one’s a fascinating read. Either love it or hate it.

I will keep that in mind. I have not yet started reading, maybe today. Thanks for commenting.

Ooh I got that one though I haven’t read A Handmaid’s Tale – the only classic dystopian book I have read is 1984 by George Orwell which I enjoyed.
I have wanted to read this book though at some point!
