I love two of her earlier books--The Edible Woman and Lady Oracle--but kinda lost interest as the years rolled by. She's another writer (along with Stephen King and Joyce Carol Oates) whose non-fiction I like more than their fiction.
You're the only other person I've encountered who's singled out LADY ORACLE, and I don't know why that isn't a more widely-shared opinion.
As David Langford loves to note in various issues of ANSIBLE, Atwood is also the current heir to the Kurt Vonnegut chair in love/hate of science fiction (as demonstrated offhandedly in the interview, even if Kelly Link and others cited are more fantasists), frequently demonstrated with yawps that might as well be "Why can't I quit you?"
