Ah, books! And so well timed now that I have B&N gift certificate!
I read Oryx and Crake around the time it first came out and enjoyed it overall. But I couldn't get into Year of the Flood for some reason. Maybe it's as you said that the narrative set up by Atwood had started to grow a bit thin.
I'd never heard of the Atrocity Archives but it sounds like something up my alley so I'll be giving that a read. It'll sit on my nightstand next to P.G. Janssen's Darkness Visible.
Not sure if you've heard of it but it's basically a Victorian steampunkish buddy movie on paper. Judging by Janssen's twitter account, it also seems she's a raging Sherlock and Cumberbatch fan which makes me smile. She did, however, make me feel like I'd accomplished nothing in my life so far after finding out she'd only recently turned 22.
