What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Is there any book which kinda highlights spiders are awesome creatures and they talk and stuff and protect others?
Jus' asking, it would cool to know. :)

Charlotte's Web?

Castle Roogna in Piers Anthony's Xanth series has a giant, intelligent spider who's one of the main characters.

Ah, thanks guys, I'll check 'em out. =)

Colin Wilson's Spider World series - book 1 is The Desert and The Tower is an omnibus containing books 1 to 3.

The aliens in Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky are very spiderish. A Deepness in the Sky

There is also a "classic" Dr. Who book about spiders Doctor Who and the Planet of the Spiders

Fund this while looking for the click for the Dr. Who book, so no idea if it's good or no. Lord Of The Spiders Or Blades Of Mars

The Master Mind of Mars The title "master minds" are a very weird race that's kind of spiderish but kind of not. Still, it's a cracking good story. (And if you aren't aware of it, Edgar Rice Burroughs is also the creator of TARZAN.)

Oh, and if you don't mind vaguely crab-like beings (I've always thought that crabs looked a LOT like spiders) there is Their Majesties' Bucketeers Another oldie but goodie.

So many looking interesting.. :)

I'm just reading this and was gonna post it. Good think is you don't need to read part 1 to read this book.

Also the aliens in Blindsight are kind of spider-like but they are more alien then spidery.

Gregor the Overlander, by Suzanne Collins, has sentient large spiders, though they are not the main characters.

And of course The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have gigantic evil spiders (who have important episodes, but aren't actual characters).

The Snow Spider, juvenile novel about boy with magical spider friend. The spider is an important supporting character, but I don't remember if it talks.

Anansi Boys, adult novel about the contemporary children of Anansi, the African spider god of stories.

Ann Bishop's Black Jewels series, of adult and explicitly dark-fantasy works, features a race of sentient spiders as tertiary characters and a lot weaving and web imagery. The spiders specifically appear in the original trilogy and the Dreams Made Flesh collection.
