Banning something this minute and benign is ridiculous, but I can assure you, nobody at all below the age of 40 wants to read The Handsmaid's Tale.

- yamtaddle 4y agoI read it some time between ages 18 and 23. No, not as a class assignment. And there wasn't a show out at the time. And I'm a dude. It's totally the kind of thing I'd have read in high school if I'd known about it then.
- jmull 4y agoI read it as a young adult and it was gripping and mind-blowing in a quiet way to me. IMO it’s pretty compelling to younger people (and well as older ones).
