I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai - no outstanding literary merits, but impressive from a cultural and social perspective.
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - a dystopian novel; I liked the end of the story. But that final addition of so called historical notes simply ruined everything.
Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug is a niche book about usability in software applications. Steve Krug is hilarious.
Shock by Robin Cook - a medical thriller, in which the style was a real turn off. I'm a sucker for unexpected or open endings, so the end saved the book.
A fine selection of books. I've read and watched Handmaids tale - I like Atwood as an author. I'm trying to read 2 books/month this year so you're doubling that!
How interesting to see that collection. I am not a fan of Atwood at all and agree - historical notes at the end a perfect way to totally ruin it!
Steve Krug sounds worth a try.
I've watched the Hulu show of The Handmaid's Tale, but I haven't read the book (yet). What sort of "historical notes" did it include? (i'm almost afraid to ask!)
@blueberry1222 I wouldn't want to give spoilers if it is on your 'to-read' list. It is the last chapter in the book. If you read the book, don't bother with those last pages, particularly if you think as I did: perhaps something is going to be relevant... there's nothing relevant there.
Now i wonder what the Hulu show is...
Oh, a sort of hbo... i see
