#22 The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood June-3-2023 4.0⭐

So, planning to read classics after this one. I watched the series after reading and it's good. They really portray the scenes amazingly even though they omit and change some parts of the book. Review Here

--one seemed satisfied, and Wilhelm was especially horrified by the cynicism of successful people. Cynicism was bread and meat to everyone. And irony, too. Maybe it couldn’t be helped. It was probably even necessary. Wilhelm, however, feared it intensely. Whenever at the end of the day he was unusually fatigued he attributed it to cynicism. Too much of the world’s business done. Too much falsity.
