I'm new here

Alright /book/, just discovered this board.  Never knew 4chan had textboards before today.  Whatever.

What should I know about this board?  Not trying to troll, just don't know what goes on here.  How fast is the board?  What kinds of books does /book/ like or dislike?  I'm mostly sci-fi and fantasy.  What's /book/'s stance on fanfiction?

I heard The Alchemist is terrible
If you are trying to get back into reading first think about shows and movies you like.
Then find similar things or, in some cases, there literary originals.
/book/ is slow but I love /book/
