There are tons of active subreddits about specific fiction books, but surprisingly few large subreddits about specific non-fiction books.
I wonder if this is bc you might discuss problems in e.g. Feynman Lectures in /r/physics, but fiction lacks cross-book “home."

Of course there are Harry Potter subreddits, but there’s also, like… /r/houseofleaves (8k members!), /r/southernreach (4k members), etc.
And yet: no subreddit for MolBioCell! Or Sipser! Or CLRS! Or any Polya! /r/sicp has only 472 members?!

/r/mikeandike (nickname for and Isaac Chuang’s text on QC/QI) has 2.6k members but two of the most recent posts are from (two different!) fans of the *candy* hoping this was a subreddit devoted to it!
Also happens with Rust (the game) and Rust (The language)
