I'd like to interact with other Esperanto speakers (preferably in Esperanto) about literature. I already know about the Literatura Babilejo on Telegram and the Duolingo Esperanto Learners Facebook group. Where else can I find other Esperanto book worms?

I have written 16 articles in Esperanto, 2 of which I would count as addressing your request: “Ĝenaj Ĝemeloj: Wodehouse kaj Roosevelt” and “La Lingvo-Bariero kiel Beletra Rimedo”. The articles are available at: public-domain-materials.com/…– Mike JonesCommented Oct 28, 2016 at 23:46

The Facebook group Literatura Babilejo has 340 members, who publish posts and comments about Esperanto literature every day. Multiple active members of this group are themselves authors of Esperanto literature.
There is Goodreads, where the is an Esperanto group: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/10231-esperanto The discussion isn't very active, but there is a common "bookshelf" where one can see what others add to the group as Esperanto reading material. There are also at least three list with "best books" with Esperanto-related content.
There is also a group on Librarything: https://www.librarything.com/groups/esperanto Librarything is a site where people catalogue their "libraries".
I just read about the recurring "Esperanto sumoo, a reading event that occurs a few times a year. It also seems to have meet-ups from time to time. It seems to be an ideal location to interact with other readers - physically.
There is a Facebook group- "Cxu vi skajpemas" https://www.facebook.com/groups/skajpanoj. If you write about your interests there, there will be someone who wants to chat and shares them. I do not know about any other way, so I would be curious what other people will say :)
