I was impressed by Bee Season, and want to revisit it. And never read Lady Oracle, but will probably be using Handmaid's Tale for the book group, since our first book was Gilead (second is the Road) and HT is set in the Republic of Gilead, seems a tidy fit.

As for Half-Price Books, I (once again) am jealous! those cookies sound excellent — I think I’m going to have to dig up a recipe.

Yes, he is an awesome dad! I read Bee Season a few years ago, back before I was blogging. I thought it was really interesting, though I've heard none of Goldberg's other stuff is in the same league, which is too bad. It's a really compelling look at religion, true, but the family dynamic in it is especially fascinating, I think. Read Lady Oracle in 11th Grade English class and hated it. It kind of started me on my whole "I do not like Margaret Atwood" line, which I less vociferously defend today (since Cat's Eye and The Handmaid's Tale are really very good).
