Ode to Oryx and Crake.

I read Oryx and Crake last week. I have not moved on. The book has had huge repercussions on me. I am trying to move on but I can not get out the chasm of book. Before I give this book to Divya tomorrow,I want to write down few excerpts from this book.

Crake made the bones of the children out of the coral on the beach,and then he made their flesh out of a mango.But the children of Oryx hatched out of an egg, a giant egg laid by Oryx herself.Actually she laid two eggs:one full of animals and birds and fish,and the other full of words.But the egg full of words hateched first,and the children of Crake had already been created by then,and they'd eaten up all the words beacuse they were hungry,and so there were no words left when the second egg hateched out.And that is why animals can't talk

The story bears testimony to the old adage,"Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.” . Thats the take away from this book. A must read book to discover the woven magic by Oryx,Crake and the Snowman
