Most detective stories drive me nuts. That's where the disembodied mind astral planes over the vista. Or something. And speaking of detective stories, which I wasn't, one of the best quotes I've ever read, almost Wilde-ish in its perspicacity, was PJ O'Rourke describing Mogadishu in 1993: "It resembled the scene of a crime where the victim has fled, but the murderer remained."
