Feliks (dzerzhinsky) This is the problem with the structure of the Goodreads website.

I'm looking for that one huge discussion of Sherlock Holmes--the one which crops up every once in a while--but because the fool who started it simply placed it at random somewhere, with a chat about 'Which actor is your favorite?' its nigh impossible to find. How can one identify which book by Conan Doyle that chat is tied to?

Angharad | 98 comments I apologize if you already know this, but you can search most or all of the discussions through google or other search engines by adding "site:goodreads.com/topic" (without the quotations) to your search terms.

I found one giant Sherlock Discussion, but I have no idea if it's the one you're looking for:


Feliks (dzerzhinsky) Thx! Yes, I knew about adding 'site' to goog, but wasn't aware it would drill down on Goodreads all the way down to the 'topic' level. I appreciate this tip.

Feliks (dzerzhinsky) Yep. Thanks to Angharad, I think I've found the threads in question.

This one,
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
...has 92 posts but doesn't even mention Sherlock Holmes in the thread title.

The other thread is about Sherlock Holmes possible asexuality. Absurd.

Anyway I am satisfied my perplexity has been resolved so I will mark this thread concluded. Good job Angharad!
