> Now, whenever we try to talk about it, it’s 30 seconds of, “Have you seen …?” “No, have you seen …?” “No.” Until we give up and talk about something else.

Outside of dedicated assignments for book clubs and schooling, this has always been the case for literature discussions.

Unless a specific piece reaches critical mass. Most people have an opinion on Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire or 50 Shades of Gray. Granted, if they aren't an avid reader it might be an opinion based on the movie adaptations instead of the books, and for some their opinion only reaches as far as the reason they haven't engaged with that specific title yet. But those are still opinions you can engage with
