Haha, it’s nowhere near as bad as American Psycho or de Sade, more on the level of Asimov, who I see you enjoy in another comment, so you should be good, misogyny-wise. I just like to say it, you know? Especially in a women’s space like this, it feels worth pointing out when books have that background-radiation misogyny that so many of them do.

I’d try Ubik, if I were you, it’s really, really good. I found it a complete page-turner, I literally couldn’t put it down.
