r/books is much friendlier and the people are actually well read and don't just talk about the same handful of books over and over again.

This is probably the smartest place you'll be able to discuss books. If you went to any other website it would just be circle jerking with zero criticism because everywhere is a safe space now. Sure /lit/ has it's spammers and trolls but there are also people who greatly admire literature and are also well read, and I think sticking around for both of them is totally worth a laugh and a great time.
