Welcome to the Book Nook! This is the weekly thread for Avocados to discuss books we’re currently reading, recommendations, genre, and serious literary criticism.

This week’s recommended discussion: Which books tickle your funny bone? Straight-up humor books, comedy memoirs, snarky non-fiction, comedic novels – what has brought a smile to your face?

One caveat: because we’re here to use our words, this is a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone (the OTs are full of clutter, and I want to keep that out of this thread).

upcoming topics:
9/19: does not translate (h/t Thomas the Fifth) – books that are better in the language written in
9/26: and loser isn’t… – book awards
10/3: reading habits
