4chan /lit/ is a highly highly underrated online 'book club'. It's almost nothing like the other boards and filled with students in literature majors. Some of my favorite books ever were recommended from there, and the 'natural flow' nature of 4chan makes it more entertaining and less mob like.

I’ve been wary of the group since I read this:

> "I really thought long about this, and I haven't slept in two days due to ongoing harassments of 4chan," cookiengineer claimed in a post to the Tenacity GitHub Issues page some 13 hours ago. "As the first people were literally arriving at my place of living, where they knocked on my doors and windows to scare us, I am hereby officially stepping down as a maintainer of this project.

>wary of the group

There is no "group" - 4chan is not a monolith, and many of boards have members that do not mix at all. /tg/ - the traditional games board (TTRPGS and the like) - might as well be an entirely different website than, say, /pol/ or /g/. 4chan in general is also extremely tame as compared to 10 or 15 years ago.

/lit/ is the only place I can still find a book discussion that's more than surface read. But it's hard to recommend for "normal" people because, you know, chan culture.

Yes, if you recommend that to someone most people are going to correctly assume you're a Nazi.
