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: Quests and journeys. What are some interesting novels, nonfiction books, stories, essays, plays, poems, graphic novels or comic books about people going on a quest, from riding forth to save the kingdom to undergoing a search for inner peace?

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. Thanks, and happy commenting!
