So, any of you guys ever pick up The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood? I've recently finished it and enjoyed it a bit. It had its moments.

Wanted to know other's opinion on it, I guess.

Why lie. Yeah... Did find it to be a good read, though, so why not?

It was alright, a bit dull to be honest, but Atwood is a good writer. It's been a long while so I don't remember too much about it.

Are you doing A2 English Literature? I had to write an essay comparing this to 1984, oh my god.

Yeah, mine's a pretty easy one, though. Just have to explain Atwood's use of religion in the dystopia. I actually would have loved to compare it to 1984, but we were each given a prompt by the teacher.

BRO. The book is a satire of theocracy. This is easy as fuck.

4chan /lit/ is surprisingly less misogynistic than 420chans /lit/

I dunno, it's pretty bad. I think you've just seen a brief window of apathy.

You must new here.

I liked it but I read it in middle school a long time ago. I actually thought the future was heading in that direction.

I was a silly kid.

Was old. Then I went to 420chan when I became a druggie. Now I'm mostly sober so less biased. Now I'm back for your /lit/
