Atwood gets a lot of things - She's a damned smart lady. I enjoy listening to her interviews with Jian Ghomeshi on Q because it's like watching a cat play with its food. Not everyone likes her, some people think she's incredibly overrated (and in Canada, they're probably not wrong), but I enjoy her ultra-dry sense of humour and her intelligence, as well as the way she writes. Have a read (or listen) to her Massey Lectures from 2008. It's called "Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth". It's one of my favourite books I own kleinbl00 you might like it as well. Or hate it. Frankly, I have no idea.
