The Book Nook Talks Titles Old and Lesser Known (7/5)

Welcome to the Book Nook! The weekly thread for all book nerds on The Avocado.
This is the place to talk about books you’re currently reading, discuss genres, ask for recommendations, and post serious literary criticism.

This week’s prompt is courtesy of Ice Cream Planet: What pre-WWII books should be bigger classics than they are?

I would like this thread to continue to be a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone as much as possible. Please use your words insteadThanks, and happy posting!
