RARA-AVIS: hardboiled book discussion group

Dear List,
I am an avid reader of hardboiled mysteries. To my best
estimate,
I have read about 2000 of them. Each week I read anywhere from
1 to 4
books, and most of them are hardboiled.
Is there a forum for discussing hardboiled novels? Is this it?
The reason I ask is that when I go to the library or the
bookstore, I
often have difficulty in finding new books to read that I will
like as I
have already read a great deal of them. I would welcome any
suggestions
in line (more or less) with my taste. Also, I am happy to
make
recommendations to other who are addicted to "tough-guy"
books.
Here are some of the authors who I have read and liked:
1. Robert Parker
2. Dick Francis
3. Sara Paretsky
4. Sue Grafton
5. Greg McDonald
6. Joseph Wambaugh
7. John MacDonald
I should add that I do not much care for horror fiction. I
prefer the
chase to the killing.
Thanks much for your ideas.
Sincerely,
Michael Laughrin
