Underrated books

Tell us about books you think were underrated or good books that many people haven't read. Thanks to Foxhound_Fpx for providing the idea for the topic.

A book I'm reading right now is Let Me In. Also known as Let the Right One In. This book has great character development and interesting scenes. A book that makes you sympathise with a creepy pedophile is a great example of good writing.

(Thanks to Film Guy whose constant phraise for the movie got me to read this.)

"Heart of Darkness" Back then when it was written, it was a fantastic book and praised upon....But now, if it wasn't for some high school classes (which is extremely ironic) most people would have never cared for the book. It's so epic, no book has ever got me thinking so much since 1984 or Watchmenmexicangordo

Lewis' Space Trilogy. Such works deserve to be known.:x

Also, Follet's The Pillars of the Earth.

Porno,its the sequel to Trainspotting. Good read for any fans of Irvine Welsh or Trainspotting.msi276
