There are certain books that are always on our periphery. They live at the edges of our consciousness, going “Hey, read me sometime, will ya?” The ones we always think we should get around to, but there’s always something newer and edgier and shiny-er that’s grabbing our attention. For me, one of those books has always been The Handmaid’s Tale, which did dystopia before it was cool. The other night, I gave in and started a 30-day free trial of Kindle Unlimited, just to see if it was worth it. This was the first book I saw and the time was finally right. The ability to seamlessly go from reading to listening didn’t hurt, either, as I was able to finish it on my drive to see a friend this weekend. As the book ended, I couldn’t help but wonder what took me so long to read it.
