Weekly “what are you reading” Thread :marseyreading:

So you can discuss your weekly readings.

I’m still reading Moby Dic, currently halfway through, so far is great, though as English is not my native language It means I have to look up quite a bit in the dictionary to learn the “old timey” words, but I’m using it less now the more I learn, it also made me check up the Bible to find the biblical counterparts of the characters with biblical names, which is interesting.

I read Adrian Tchaikovsky novela One Day All This Will be Yours, which is decently fun time travel story. I'm currently reading Margret Atwoods's Cat's Eye which some dramatard recommended to me a while ago

I think it's a book of it's time. It's easy to look back at it now, in a time were women are more empowered then any point in human history, and snicker at it.

In was written during the start of Reagan's presidency, when it looked like christian conservatism may have been the dominant cultural force going forward.

Ofc she was wrong about all of that, but not really any more wrong then any other dystopian writer.

I think if u don't hate women it's worth reading

That's like half of rdrama :marseyxd:

I watched the Hulu show and unironically thought season 1 was very good, I think it covers the entire book. Season 2 was mediocre and season 3 was terrible filled with #resist level cringe so I just gave up.

You make a good point here, all dystopian writers are hyperbolic, I you want a realistic dictatorship novel Mario Vargas Llosa is great. I’ll give the :marseyhandmaid: a try someday.
