Stay On-Topic. All discussion must be related to literature.
Bigotry is Forbidden. No racism, sexism, or other forms of bigotry.

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.
