Reading Diary

The books I've read recently and my (and Wikipedia's) thoughts about them

Winnie-the-Pooh by A. Milne

In the Milne books, Pooh is naive and slow-witted, but he is also friendly, thoughtful and steadfast. Although he and his friends agree that he is "a bear of very little brain," Pooh is occasionally acknowledged to have a clever idea, usually driven by common sense.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

The United States Constitution was suspended, newspapers were censored, and what was formerly the United States of America was changed into a military dictatorship known as the Republic of Gilead.
