The Mass Effect Trilogy (Or at least soon-to-be trilogy) - Drew Karpyshyn

Remember reading Good Night Mr Tom as a kid, very good book, will be suprised if people have heard of it.
The Faerie Wars Chronicles series by Herbie Brennan. It wasn't until recently that I noticed the internet acknowledging it's existence, I thought I dreamed the whole series.

On topic, Copernick's Rebellion by Leo A. Frankowski. Damn good book, but I don't think it's ever been very popular.
Right now I'm kinda working my way through Dracula: The Un-Dead.
It's pretty good from what I've discovered so far.

not many people were aware of shutter island before the film. i hope people who see the film go out and read the book, rather than it being overshadowed.
I have read Tuck Everlasting! When I was about 9 or 10, actually. Damn good book.Blanks said:
Also, a book that people may have NEVER even heard of -
House of Leaves - by Mark Z. Danielewski
------- It's a really surreal and very complicated story about a 19 year old punk being led to his friend's apartment where an old, blind Portugese man had died and he finds a very detailed analysis and summary of a very strange movie called 'The Navidson Records'.
And the book is full of Zampano's(the Portugese man) notes, Johnny Trumain's(the punk) diary, the summary and transcription of what happens in the film, and increasingly confusing and mentally unraveling letters from Johnny's insane mother in a mental hospital who ends up dead.
The Oath by Frank Peretti
A very good book has more of a relegiose overe tone then most people like (but its more of a plot/story aspect then preachy how to live your life stuff)

Ah... I am afraid I have read this (Night Angel). I loved the series, but I know of at least two people who have read it...Gitsnik said:
Also have read (and very nearly worship) Lies of Locke Lamora. Redwall series and Name of the Wind are also on there. It seems that good books, no matter how obscure, have been read by at least a handful of people. I just wish such fabulous books got more press.
The Myth Adventure series by Robert Asprin. They turned his first book into a comic book and now some one is colorizing it as a web comic project.

It's been a few years since I read them, but damn this comic is dead accurate to the book. If you like what you see here, I definitely recommend picking them up. There's like 10 of these books.

Just because Max reviewed it doesn't change the fact that most people don't know of it. And they will pay for their insolence.Amalith said:
