I love this book channel, but I would also love a feed purely of book _excerpts_. Screenshots of passages, quotes, idea fragments, and other inspiration from whatever people are reading, etc. Could that live within this channel, or is that too much its own thing?

Probably too long for anyone to actually read in-app, buuuuut Ippolit’s speech as he’s dying (in The Idiot) remains one of the most powerful moments in literary history. This is just a little piece of it so not sure if it comes through, but man it gets me.
