I've decided that I want to travel around the world. I already knew I was going to, having scheduled a trip to Europe next year. But I've finally made the decision to, if that makes sense.

I finished The Robber Bride, which I found to be one of Atwood's weaker efforts. Parts of it are fantastic and offer valuable insight into how a person is defined through the different relationships they have with people, but almost all of her male characters are hurtful weaklings and almost all of her female characters are dull and spineless. I'm sure she did it on purpose, but these characteristics on a first read-through just irritated me. As hated as she makes the book's antagonist, at least she's interesting.
