The Handmaid’s Tale Schedule
I can’t wait to begin discussing The Handmaid’s Tale with you! The last time I read The Handmaid’s Tale I was in high school, so I’m interested in what I think of it now. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I anticipate I will!
Below is the schedule for The Handmaid’s Tale, which will go for six weeks in August and September. The book is laid out with sections as well as chapters, but we’ll be discussing a certain number of sections at a time.
August 23 – Sections I – IV
August 30 – Sections V – VIII
September 6 – Sections IX – X
September 13 – Sections XI – XII
September 20 – Sections XIII – XV
September 27 – Wrap up
So far, Jen and Heather have done such a fantastic job that I have quite big shoes to fill! Let’s hope this is as awesome as I hope!

[…] Here’s how it works: I’ve set up a schedule to read The Handmaid’s Tale over six weeks. Each week, we all read the same sections, and then we go to the Classic Reads Book Club site and discuss it. It should be a lot of fun; kind of like a book club, only in slow motion. This is the schedule: […]

Even though Atwood still gives me the willies, I can’t wait to read this with you. I hope I get over my Atwoodphobia!

I remember seeing the movie first and then being excited to find out the movie was based on a book. I’ve read it before but not with a group. Can’t wait!

I’ll be reading along too! I’ve been wanting to read this for years!

I just remembered to check and see when we were starting this, good thing, since it is next week! I guess I’ll be working some Atwood into my reading week.

Count me in! I’m glad for the reminder. Heather, why does Atwood give you the creeps?
Heather 4:10 am on August 23, 2010 Permalink |
Not so much the creeps as she just scares me. I think I had/have a mentality that she is difficult to read. Silly, I know! 🙂

I’m so excited to be reading this book for the first time! I wasn’t sure if I would have time to read it with the other books on my shelf, but after starting it last night realized that it won’t be a problem. I can’t wait to discuss it with you all!
