I'm a guy, and I liked Handmaid's Tale. Does that make me weird?

Actually, alot of the guys in my HS english class who read it ended up liking it. It surprised the girls and our teacher.

1. We are equally wierd.

And I'm way past high school.
It's a frightening, and all too possible, vision of the near future.
I found the ending to be particularly ironic, given our history.

2. But were you scared by it?

[Book Lover]

3. Well, when you say "like"

do you mean it was well-written and told a story in a different and engaging way that made you take a fresh look at who you are and what you do both as an individual as well as a member of the human community?

[Taverner]

4. Not at all. One of Modern Lit's better offerings

Atwood is Prophetess....

[skygazer]

5. Of course not

Good literature has no gender.

6. as long as you like it

for the sex scenes and not for the feminist subtext

that would be weird

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. a guy gifted me that book and said he loved it

i dont think you are weird

[philosophie_en_rose]

8. Did you like it because it is thought-provoking?

or like the Bushes, did you like it because you endorse it's vision of the future?
