Great submitted by hahahame on July 24, 2017, 6:23pm The best book I was assigned to read in high school

Adolescent submitted by KidBlue on November 13, 2021, 6:48pm A terrible book. It’s a pretty misogynist, racist novel of very adolescent ideas of empowerment. .
All the women in the book are castrating mother figures (Nurse Ratched, Mrs. Bibbitt), good-hearted hookers or the repressed assistant nurse.
Chief “Broom” Bromden, the narrator and real main character, has a soliloquy where he talks about the disempowering “Combine,” that force in society that keeps a man less than a real man.
As I said, it reveals a pretty adolescent viewpoint, and ultimately it’s pretty misogynist, too.
