Literary fora

Hello. I'm sorry that I write not quite on the topic of Wikipedia. What are the most massive forums for book lovers on the Internet (more precisely, detectives and political and spy thrillers), where you can ask a question about finding a book by description. Thank you in advance. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 04:43, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

The ref desk front page summarizes each one: Wikipedia:Reference desk --←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:23, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. That's the page I've seen so many times I don't think to actually read it! -- Verbarson  ^talk_edits 08:30, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
