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: Studs Terkel was born on May 16, 1912. To celebrate his birthday week, let’s discuss oral history. Do you like oral history? If yes, what are some of your favorite examples? (Thanks to The Prighlofone for the prompt idea!)

Ideas for prompts are always welcome!

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!
