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: Are there writers whose output you’ll read, no matter what? Bad reviews, boring plots, problematic characters – nothing will deter you from checking out their latest or from being a completist.
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. Images related to a post are fine, though.
upcoming topics:
5/26: knowing culture or history to understand a book’s references (h/t Mongo Only Pawn)
6/2: the dream cast for an adaptation (h/t Antononymous)
6/9: read in order to avoid spoilers (h/t MisterSplendiferous)
6/16: the definition of insanity
6/23: deal breakers
