#Rules

No recommendation requests. Please do not ask for book recommendations. Better resources for recommendations are: Our Thursday or Monday weekly threads, r/SuggestMeABook, r/booksuggestions, and r/bookrecommendations

Stay On-Topic. All discussion must be related to literature.

Bigotry is Forbidden. No racism, sexism, or other forms of bigotry.

Ensure All Posts Are of High Quality. For general posting, ensure that you pose your own opinion as well. Do not simply ask a question and expect an answer. Strive for at least 300 words (~7 sentences).

Avoid the Following:
"What do you think of X" posts, unless you provide your own in-depth original thoughts.
Lists or "best of" threads (i.e. who are your favorite contemporary authors).
Requesting help on homework assignments or creating a curriculum.
Sharing unpublished fiction or non-fiction you've written.
Purely image links.
Amusing videos vaguely related to literature.
Publisher press releases, online bookstore referrals, or other forms of advertising.
Uncensored spoilers.
Limit Two Link Posts and One Personal Post Per Day

No Blatant Self-Promotion. Don't just post a link to your website or Youtube video review. If you're going to do something of the sort, you must participate in the comment discussion. Don't promote other subreddit read-alongs. Instead, feel free to promote these in the Monday weekly thread.

Vote with Civility. Be civil and don't downvote opinions.
Mods Have Final Word. Moderators have final discretion.
