I am not certain about where to place a thread I want to start. It may be Cafe Society or General Questions. It’s about a book whose author and title I have forgotten, but I remember the plot. I wish to ask for help in finding it. Can someone give me an answer?

It could go either way, but I’d put it in Cafe Society if I were you. If I saw it in GQ, I wouldn’t move it unless it drifted into a long-winded analysis of the book’s literary merits, or some such non-GQ territory.
