Hi Karl - this is just a partial list of all there is - I didn't take down Anna's whole list (there were many more)

I just had a few moments - will you look through the rest of the list with me? (she posted a good sized one)

Makes me smile to think that you read 'The Handmaids Tale' by Atwood.

Her poetry is how I came to know her first - then it all went to hell when I discovered how many novels I had missed (and soon caught up on)
