Aha.. this is what I love about Blogs and comments. I would have never bothered reading The Handmaid’s Tale and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. But since someone recommends them strongly, I will give them both a try.
And Jake, I read da Vinci code long time back.
Cheers,

I would also strongly recommend The Handmaid’s Tale.
