Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on any good books that have slipped under the radar?

Define a good book and define a radar

'Cult' classics are generally very well known anyway.

I found a short wiki somewhere a while ago that just had obscure authors with even more imaginative books I read one or two from the list but have no idea what happened to the wiki ie. I forgot it. I read a book called "Darwins Bastards" that was reccomended there. Excellent book, relatively unkown, under the radar...

Boxer, Beetle by Ned Beauman and Stone Junction by Jim Dodge. Naturally any good recommendation for an off the beaten track book is still going to be slightly heard of. Otherwise it's more than likely ****. I'll put it this way, you'll be doing well to find the above two books in Easons.
