Wow, that's nice! A whole discussion group just for your campus. For Butler I'd recommend WILD SEED and KINDRED, or the entire XENOGENESIS trilogy.

The Margaret Atwood Society's Atwood Discussion List atwood-l@cariboo.bc.ca Please Excuse Cross-Postings Atwood-L is a mailserv list dedicated to the consideration of the literary, political, and cultural works and ideas of the Canadian author Margaret Atwood. Sponsored by the Margaret Atwood Society, an international association of scholars, teachers, students, and others who share an interest in the work of Margaret Atwood, this list seeks to provide an electronic forum for the exchange of ideas, opinions and information related to Atwood with the aim of encouraging the teaching and reading of Atwood's works. In addition, Atwood-L hopes to foster more effective research on Atwood and disseminate that research more widely. Atwood-L seeks participation not just by academic scholars who study Atwood professionally, but also by high-school, college and university teachers and students, librarians, bibliographers, literary and rare-book collectors, journalists, creative writers and others who may want to learn more about Atwood's work and share ideas and information. Participants are encouraged to post queries, comments, critiques, reviews, or concerns. They are also invited to share successes (and failures) with teaching or studying Atwood in the classroom. In addition, Atwood-L subscribers can use the list to announce conferences, place calls for conference papers or book submissions, announce the publication of new books on Atwood, and provide information about recent Atwood scholarship.
