sometimes we just need a bit of self trust, even if we're wrong. the self-doubt becomes more consuming than any external search for understanding of the self. look inside with kindness to ourselves :)
Authors sometimes have their own dedicated subreddits where people are constantly discussing a text but if your reading a really specific book someone may do a writeup in r/books and if not probably some discussion on goodreads (as annoying as goods reads is , f*** amazon)
I like watching certain booktubers Tokyochemist is one of my favorites but theres a lot of booktubers who post frequently about books so just search up book reviews on Youtube.
Iām in college so when Iām looking for something more analytical I go to my schools library page and search for any literary analysis stuff (these can get pretty technical sometimes). After watching X-men 97ā I found some really cool work on Rogue and repressed sexuality! I also found some interesting writing on Donnie Darko through here.
Hope this helps š
