If it’s not a famous book, you may find some Goodreads reviews and if you’re lucky a Reddit post or two, but not vasts amount of online discussion like you’ll find about any passingly good series or movie.

And if you love a movie or a tv show, it is much easier to convince people in real life to also watch it, since it’s way less time consuming and not everyone even reads books, but most people watch movies.

I just think that this really sucks about reading books.

    This quote speaks to me.

    surprised at how good it felt to be talking with someone about a book. - Hope Jahren, Lab Girl

    What kind of books do you read? I have a friend who I co-read with a lot. My wife and I will also read the same books a lot.
