Yea, most of the mods and people here are great.

It's one of the better places for discussions on book-related topics.

It's really not

Honest question: Any suggestions for better subs for people who love to read? I'm here and in r/52book...

I like subs that are specifically for certain authors that I enjoy. r/literature is ok but it's starting to feel more like r/books

Followup, also a genuine question (I'm not trying to wind you up or anything, I promise)... How do you keep from getting stuck in a rut discussing only authors/books/series you already know you like...? I mean, yeah, I love talking about what I love with other people who love it, but I also like coming here and seeing what everyone else is up to, what are they reading, etc... And it's cool to see all the non-specific-book related posts too, like posts about book bans or discussions about ebooks versus digital, or how someone just rekindled their love of reading and had to come share it, etc etc... Anyway, I'm just trying to gauge your thoughts on why subs about reading/books in general don't really work for you, and how you keep from getting stuck inside 'echo chambers' (etc) I guess...
