Don't Take My Books Away 
Absolutely lovely. I am awestruck by all that you have read and the creative blog you have started. Very impressive! I promise I won’t take your books away. Ever.
Thanks, Mom!
Hello; I came across your blog via the word – dystopia.. the opposite of Utopia, So I read your review of “The hand maiden’s tale” an interesting and imaginative story of society’s possible morays.
You commented it was a scene…. hard to be believed, a scenario of people allowing such an extreme state to rise. I think you overlooked Nazi Germany… it took just 4 years to produce a totalitarian extreme rascist Germany who practised state euthanasia.. In Britain in 1916 we had a government that murdered people who refused to carry a gun – the pacifists and the mass of people approved.
But to return to books… Can I recommend Kazuo Ishiguro book – “Never let me go.”. . Ishiguro is a Japanese born English man ; he has many books to hois name including “The remains of the day.” and he has won the bBooker prize so he is no mean slouch..

I think Atwood made a deliberate decision to point out how quick a society can be upended… I guess from my own comfortable position it was hard to grasp at times. But, you’re right, it is possible and with historical precedent.
I have read Ishiguro in the past and really enjoyed both Never Let Me Go and Remains of the Day. Thank you for your comment!
