About 7 years ago, I re-posted a thread by u/ThatSpencerGuy where he posed this request. I thought it'd be fun to do it again.

"As much as we all love our ASOIAF or Infinite Jest or Dune or Harry Potter, I know we all also have less popular favorites that we'd love to promote and discuss.
In order to give some attention to books that don't often get their time in the limelight, do the following:
Go to your goodreads 'read' bookshelf.
Sort the books by 'Num ratings' in ascending order.
Go through the shelf and note those that you have given four or five stars.
List out the first five or ten, and let us know why you like them."

* Harry Mulisch: **The discovery of Heaven**. I cannot describe this book, you have to read it. There is so much in it. Look it up.
* Patricia McKillip: **The Sorceress and the Cygnet**. Mystical, mythopoeic, other wordly, wonderful protagonists, beautiful relationships.
Looks like I’m into mystery series that no one else cares about. I like the Hanne Wilhelmsen series by Anne Holt for some nordic crime with a lesbian protagonist, and the Junior Bender series about a former thief who is now kind of a detective for criminals by Timothy Hallinan
