Went looking through the archive, catalog, and the Wiki that had herpes level of ads.

Can anybody recommend me some hard-boiled detective novels? I'm looking for a page turner, maybe a first person perspective, with plenty of fights, smoking, drinking, swearing, the works. Can you help me?

I wouldn't know though I don't think there is one on 4chan. This is the only book one and they try to a highbrow literature board.

Have you read nelson demille? start with his plumb island series. Its p cool and has a lot of relevant social and political commentary. Probably very looked down upon in this board since its pleb pop fiction.

Not sure if you've already read the classics, but I enjoyed reading The Maltese Falcon. It's like the prototype of this genre, with some good twists and turns.

Also google provides some good lists.

/r/books would probably have some recs, though they don't have taste so it might be useless

No I haven't. I just watched Blade Runner and figured I'd enjoy reading something in that vein. Thanks for your suggestion!

>>8622773
I'm smelling what your stepping in. I've been reading H.P. Lovecraft a lot lately and I wanted something a bit more dumbed down for a while.

Ok I'll add that to my list. Thank you for your suggestion.

I usually lurk on /v/ and /vg/, won't people get triggered if we mention reddit? Either way I suppose I could wade that way.

If you're just looking for a fun read and are okay with fantasy, you might like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It's about a detective who uses magic in a modern setting.

But you didn't hear that from me...

Jim Thompson is noir which is similar to hard-boiled. I liked "the killer inside me", which has most of what you are looking for.

So I take it the rest of the board, being so high-brow, doesn't like those books then?
