Bob, oh Bob, where art thou.

I dislike to admit I enjoy anything from Canada, but Margaret Atwood is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers.

Take this quote for example (The Blind Assassin):

The best sequence at the moment is the one in the middle cubicle. The first sentence is in pencil, in rounded lettering like those on Roman tombs, engraved deeply in the paint: Don't Eat Anything You Aren't Prepared to Kill.

Then, in green marker: Don't Kill Anything You Aren't Prepared to Eat.

Under that, in ballpoint, Don't Kill.

Under that, in purple marker: Don't Eat.

And under that, the last word to date, in bold black lettering: Fuck Vegetarians - "All Gods Are Carniverous" - Laura Chase.

Yep. I laughed.

Fortunately, Atwood has invented a mechanical hand which can sign her books for her (even when she isn't present) so I can make fun of her and still like her at the same time. Crazy Canadians.

I recommend reading her novel "The Handmaid's Tale." It paints a frightening picture of the future with "freedoms from" replacing the "freedoms to."

Don't die, all.
