I hadn't really intended to read it; I picked it up out of idle curiosity, but it sucked me in. I much preferred it to Cat's Eye It's the middle of the month, and I hadn't bought any books yet, so today these came home with me:
Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye (to complete my set)
Celestine Hitiura Vaite's Frangipani (to save for my next tropical vacation)

To return to topic, I finished Cat's Eye and am now reading The Red Queen by Margaret Drabble. #43 is Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood. It had a very slow, meandering pace, but was still quite good. Once I was properly into it, I was intrigued.
#44 is The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor, which is maybe as opposite from Cat's Eye as you can get. It was a very action-oriented ... I liked Ethan Frome when I read it too. I'm really impressed by Edith Wharton.
Right now I'm reading Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood. It was a bit tough for me to get into at first, but now I think it's quite interesting. ... I've read all her fiction, although I've yet to venture into her poetry or non-fiction.
My favourite Atwood? Probably Cat's Eye, followed by The Handmaid's Tale, and The Blind Assassin. I enjoyed the short stories in Moral Disorder, but I find her occasional writing much harder ... ... Glass Wars by Frank Beddor.
I also stopped at the library and picked up:

I started out by reading Cat's Eye, which was a required read for the summer at our high school -- but I was the English teacher! At that time (90's, in the US), we were still trying to get more women writers into the curriculum. I liked the book a lot, but wasn't sure it was right for teens, ... Thanks! Cat's Eye has been languishing longer in my TBR pile anyway, so I'll pull it out sometime soon. I have read The Robber Bride more recently than Cat's Eye, so I remember that one better, but interestingly enough, I was just talking about Cat's Eye yesterday with a friend here at work. Both are good. I'm no help, am I? I'd say read Cat's Eye first, because she wrote that one first. Have you read Cat's Eye and The Robber Bride? Do you favor one over the other? I read The Handmaid's Tale several months back, my first Atwood. I have both of the first two books at home, but I can't decide which one I want to go for next. Wow, that sentence probably describes just about every book I've ever read! And yet I've only read a few on the list: Cat's Eye, Middlemarch, The Country of the Pointed Firs.

I would say that I have been reading mostly fantasy and sci-fi lately, mixed with some feminist drama (Cat's Eye but Margaret Atwood) and could use something that will make me sleep with the lights on.
Looking forward to reading whichever one we choose. ... like to re-read some of my favorites from my 20's such as A Hundred Years of Solitude, Unbearable Lightness of Being, Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood again soon to get my now older cynical opinion of. This was a hard question, as I love so many of Atwood's works. My favorite is Cat's Eye. I also read it as a teenager and felt a deep connection to the description of girls' friendships. I also adore The Robber Bride for the same reason.
I also really like her poetry collections. It's ... I love Cat's Eye, partly because it reveals that little girls are not necessarily sugar 'n spice 'n everything nice, but also because it's set in Toronto just a little before the time in which I grew up in that same city.

... it's a classic! A sentimental favorite is Lady Oracle because it's the first Atwood book I read and fell in love with. Cat's Eye also comes close at the top.
#37 - Alias Grace is one of my favorite books of all time. I also highly recommend Cat's Eye and The Blind Assasin if you haven't already read them. My favorites by a favorite author.
I am currently reading The Last of the Wine by Mary Renault, which was recommended by someone here ... Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood
The Cat Who Walks Through Walls by Robert Heinlein
The Cat from Outer Space by Ted Key
Zen for Cats by Henry Beard
The Tribe of Tiger by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas ... fun looking through your 'unreads'.
I would definately read a few of your Magaret Atwood's first -- Alias Grace and Cat's Eye are so, so good.
For classics, especially if you like romances, you have to read Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Mansfield Park.

Cat's Eye is my all time favorite - it changed the way I look at life (the nature of creativity, specifically) and is listed among my "life altering" books. My second favorite is Blind Assassin.
Unfort ... Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood. It was sort of tangential, but I must have been ready for it. The main character plans to be a biologist. While she is drawing examples of biological specimens during her high school national exams, it occurs to her that she is not a scientist, but an artist.
... ... for the time being, so that you can have a chance to see this, and hope others will do the same.
Look also at the works Cat's Eye. There is large group of Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood and a single copy of Cat's Eye entered in LT as by Atwood, Margaret. These should be together ... ... and the ending so drastically - I felt that original story was much more powerful than what the movie made it into.
Cat's eye by Margaret Atwood - excellent portrait of female friendships and power struggles and loss if personal power and just good interesting story - well written ... My favourite Margaret Atwood is Cat's Eye, although I'm reading The Robber Bride right now and I really like it. Which isn't surprising - they're both about manipulative women treating eachother horribly. :)
She has so many books, I think there's something for everyone. ... Catherine Bush's The Rules of Engagement, which followed a similar structure.
for me, the task will be to tackle Cat's Eye and The Robber Bride, both of which I have but have not yet read. ... after I've read it - something that doesn't happen often.
So yeah - any takers?
p.s. I've read Handmaid's Tale, Cat's Eye, Surfacing, The Edible Woman, Alias Grace and The Robber Bride by Atwood - I think that's all, so I really am a fan. ... ef="http://www.librarything.com/groups/atwoodians">http://www.librarything.com/groups/atwoodians
P.S. I am fondest of Cat's Eye. I liked The Blind Assassin also, but my all time favorite is Cat's Eye. It taught me something about being a creative person that changed my life.
I've also read, Oryx and Crake, (most recently) and Handmaid's Tale, but in all truth, I didn't care very much for them.
My favourite Atwood work continues to be Cat's Eye, mainly due to its nuanced exploration of the heartbreak of girls' friendships, but also because much of it takes place in a part of Toronto I used to live in (and loved dearly). For example, I know the ravine that's represented on the book cover ... ... padding-right:6px;"> Cat's Eye Margaret Atwood I was on the road and finished two great books by Christopher Brookmyre - Quite Ugly One Morning and One Fine Day in the Middle of ... ... novels.
I enjoy her stories about women more than her dystopia fiction. I particularly liked The Robber bride and Cat's eye and The Blind assassin, but I don't enjoy Oryx and Crake much. I have finished Cat's eye by Margaret Atwood, which I loved
I am now reading Freakonomics by Steven. D. Levitt so far it is interesting I am reading Cat's eye by Margaret Atwood and I am loving it. She puts so well the sense of power and cruelty that exist in young girls relationship
probably my favourite book this year I am now Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood and so far I am loving it. She is capturing the evilness of girl childhood bullying so well - what a great find
So far I am loving the 1001 books
