Oryx & Crake

For those interested in a sample, the entire first chapter can be read at:
http://www.oryxandcrake.co.uk/excerpt.asp

I also found the book is available at Audible.com, which has become the main 
way I read these days.  Just finished the Pulitzer winner, Middlesex, and 
having someone tell the story is very entertaining - much better than radio to 
and from work. Think I'll consider getting O&C next month as I remember liking 
Atwood's Alias Grace.
