OK, so yeah, there’s

https://wikisummaries.org

But it’s neither very good nor comprehensive. I think a user-generated Wiki that’s extremely extensive in its number of entries (like Goodreads) and has deep chapter by chapter break downs, user discussion boards, questions, themes etc. would be extreeeemely useful. I imagine it covering every kind of books: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, etc. or anything with an ISBN#.

I would like this personally because a lot of times I’d like to discuss themes in books that are a bit too obscure to get many replies to on a sub like this. If you are posting directly to the specific book’s wiki page you know you’ll be getting feedback from people also thinking about that book.

    Not what you’re looking for, but this is why I started my book spoiler blog.

    I read a lot of thrillers, so many that I couldn’t remember what happened in books I read 1-2 years ago. I’d search online and could sometimes find summaries, but not consistently. I didn’t want to read the book again, though, so I started writing down the endings to each thriller I read.

    I’m very behind on posting but have a pretty decent backlog, and recently gained a guest poster to help me cover more ground.
