I think I read this off and on for a year or two before I finally got through it. I just enjoyed the movie so much that I felt I had to read the book (and it's a classic). :o
I also read all the Harry Potter books and rather enjoyed them.
I also read the Twilight books, except for the last one. I really enjoyed them, though I've been holding off on the last one because of the bad reviews.

WOW I haven't checked this thread in a while.
Oryx and Crake is closer to A Handmaid's Tale than it is The Blind Assassin. It's definitely more science fiction/post-apocalyptic/bleak dystopic future leaning.
I highly recommend it, especially if you enjoy science fiction stuff. :)
