I'm getting a little tired of reading dry mathematical texts, so I was looking through my goodreads profile to see if anybody was recommending anything.
One book I came across was Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club". I was wondering if anybody here has read it. I know that I've come across a short story of hers and was probably unimpressed.
The only reason I'm considering reading it now is that I happened upon a few reviews on goodreads (they trash on the book) saying how it's racist and sexist and terribly unpopular in leftist academia.
This rule doesn't hold every time, but oftentimes racist and sexist is code for 'red pill' and oftentimes 'pretty good'. Has anybody here read it and can confirm either way?
