Had a bit of a showerthought this morning. c/books could do a monthly book club pick but with the additional feature of inviting a related community to participate. For example, if the book pick was “Two Wheels Good” by Jody Rosen, [email protected] could be invited to participate. Seems to be a great way to encourage more people to read and more people to subscribe to the sub.

I absolutely love this idea, would be a great way to increase intercommunity interactions.
A suggestion for book lovers. https://bookwyrm.social/about Bookwyrm is a part of the Fediverse that you might like.
Great suggestion. I’m already there @[email protected]
Now that’s what I call socializing! Big like!
That’s a great idea! Hate to give the mods more work but it doesn’t seem too bad , logistically.
I adore this!
I absolutely love the idea! Oftentimes I find myself reading the same types of stories over and over again. I’m very fond of the classics (Jane Austen is my absolute fave) and science fiction in the novel world. I really need to broaden my horizons and this could help me do just that!
I never got into the literature subs on Reddit very much, but I’m working on that deficiency now. And, if anyone would like some good ole’ poems to ponder the day away, I have those to share in spades!
Fantastic idea. No idea who the mods are around here but I’d love to see something like this!
Oh this is great! I love it!
It would be an interesting idea. Maybe even have non literature/ book related communities pick a book so that they feel uniquely included. I’m sure it would be rather easy for the AI and technology communities to find relevant sci- fi books. Environmental and political communities could also find many dystopia novels and many nonfiction books as well.
It could be fun as well to discuss short stories or comic books that discuss topics relevant to other communities. That way people don’t feel like it’s as much of a commitment, but it is still reading, engaging, socializing, and often quite powerful.
