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 optional discussion topic: your personal Ready Player One. What books are about/are set in/reference things you know well and love?
hat tip to Warmerdam

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. Pictures of books related to a post are fine, though.

upcoming topics:
2/26: favorite publishers and imprints
3/4: believe the hype
