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.

Posting pictures is fine as long as they are book related, but I would like this thread to continue to be a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone as much as possible. Thanks, and happy commenting!

This week’s prompt: We talked about non-fiction food books last week. This week: What are your favorite novels, short stories, plays or poems about food? (Feel free to include books that aren’t all about food but contain a memorable passage about it or an intriguing recipe.) Thanks to Mayelbridwen for the idea!

Ideas for prompts are always welcome!
