Ravelry has grown to epic proportions.  I hardly take advantage of all it has to offer.  One aspect that I have enjoyed is the groups.  There are specific threads that I constantly check because the information there is just so. good.

One of these threads is the YarnWords Group, Books you Love that No-one Else has Heard of.

If you’re interested in a good read check out some of the titles.  They look wonderful.

Any other’s to add?  I listed The Bone People by Keri Hulme.

    The Bone People is my all-time favorite novel. I re-read it every couple of years and it never fails to pack a wallop. I love that the characters are so distinctly drawn that labels on dialog or thought (she said, he thought, etc) are rarely necessary.
    Can’t wait to go read that thread on Ravelry!

    OMG, I loved the Bone People so much that when I first read it, I had a bunch of boring temp jobs and I would type out whole pages of text, just so I could read it again and again. I’ll be re-reading this summer.

    You’ve just given me another book to add to my to-do list. I love hearing about new books. Reading makes the train ride go by faster.

    I started that book last winter after coming across a reference to it somewhere, probably in a knitblog, since that is where I get a lot of my “what to request next from the library” ideas. It was wonderfully written and a fascinating book, but it was the depths of tax season (I’m a CPA) and was way too demanding for what was left of my brain at the end of the day.

    Must request it again.

    This is a fantastic book. The interaction/relationship between the mute boy Simon and the artist Kerwin is wonderfully portrayed and Joe is a very interesting character. Keri Hulme is a fantastic writer.
