the last line….. what book is that from?

geez, I don’t think I could read any more Margaret Atwood. It has been years since I read anything by Milan Kundera though, and I could be convinced to read more of his work.

Steal away, pesk. I’ll pop over and have a look at your answers. It’s interesting how certain authors/books can have such opposite affects on people, even people you like and think you have stuff in common with. For example, Lori and I both love Robertson Davies but she can’t stand Terry Pratchett and I adore his stuff. It’s okay though, I won’t hold it against her.
It’s from Fifth Business, the first book in The Deptford Trilogy, nursemyra.
I found that question a bit vague, mister anchovy. Not sure if it meant authors you’d read repeatedly or just that you’d keep buying their books. I have read a couple of Atwood’s books more than once – The Robber Bride is a favourite – and would like to read The Blind Assassin again.
