     @lain And deep inside both books touch exactly the same nerve.
     The only difference is how the fact of someone reading them is received socially.

     @lain I read Tarnsman of Gor years ago. It was good.

     @EscapeVelo @LawrenceGerald there's a bunch of questionable books on 'best of sci fi' lists and handmaid's tale is absolutely one of them

     @lain I haven't read the Gor books, but I did read the Handmaid's Tale at an impressionable age (never saw the show, never will). I think they're kind of the same story of not letting wammans have much agency for the good of society, but Gor is sexier. She is a fairly vile person, but Margaret Atwood is a very very good writer. She's a clear example of how skillfully the jew-enabled left inserts memes into our societal consciousness.
     
     In the books, she managed to make a three-way with two wammans incredibly unsexy.

     Yes, I read Handmaid's Tale in high school as it was on reading lists, and I was a Science Fiction fan.

     @EscapeVelo @lain I've read a number of her books. I stopped when I just couldn't get through Oryx and Crake. Compared to what gets published and promoted now she is a towering genius of talent.
