Thoughts on Madame Bovary? Just finished, and I didn't like it, to be honest. Maybe it's because it reminds me of /r9k/-style misogyny so much?

Yeah. I kinda tried to find a deeper meaning in it, but every time it just came down to bitches and whores.

The book didn't have deeper meaning, the thing about the book is that the characters are very realistic.

That is, women are whores

Huge boring piece of shit. It's worse when you read it in French.

Is that so? We got it as obligatory essay material reading, so I was kind of forced into reading it. At least the second piece is The Overcoat, which was delightful, IMO.

I had to read it in high school and I couldn't finish it. Perhaps I was too young but I found it completely boring.
