Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

Location: Alief, TX		So, I really really like Worlds Without End. This site is what got me back to some serious science fiction reading, after many years away. It's also been the basis of more shopping trips than I can count. I'm in for a pound. But . . . .

Now that my marriage is past, I think that one of the very best things that could possibly happen right now would be if someone (like the folks who started this site, ) would create, or point me towards an already existing site, that is exactly like this site, except for being focused on crime, detective, mystery and spy novels. Somewhere that I could enjoy my fascination with Sax Rohmer, Sherlock Holmes, Dashiell Hammett, and Ian Fleming the same way this site lets me express my love of Philip K. Dick and so many others.

So, if the site is out there, and my searches just haven't turned it up yet, someone please please let me know.

And if it isn't (yet), well . . . you know . . .

Location: SC, USA		Jontlaw, I have never found one, but I wish I could. The best I've found (which is not very good) is Stop, You're Killing Me, but it is much more modern in its content than you describe. http://www.stopyourekillingme.com

I totally get what you're saying! After diving back into sci-fi on Worlds Without End, I found myself looking for something similar for crime and detective novels too. One site I found that?s pretty close to what you're after is CrimeReads?it?s got a ton of content on classic detectives like Sherlock Holmes, plus a lot of modern crime fiction too. It?s not exactly the same format, but the discussions and recommendations are solid, and it might be worth checking out if you haven?t yet.
