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."

I think the real comparator is subreddits devoted to authors. Fictionbooks tend to over take their authors because of entrancement with the world, whereas when people are passionate about a nonfiction book, its either in relation to overall subject or the author themself

Like there wouldn't be a sub for 'the tipping point' thered be a sub for gladwell fans, while there'd be separate subs for a scifi world and a high fantasy world even if created by the same author

And indeed, there is /r/malcolmgladwell! Surprisingly small at 681 members given the size of his audience.
