ITT: Good books you've never seen discussed

You don't discuss the rack in polite company. You peek and then you pretend it's not there.

>THE RACK

hehehehehehehheheheh

>>8778615
I would say it's not discussed because it doesn't have a Wikipedia page, i.e., pseuds can't google it and act like they know what they're talking about.

posted it once before i got it and only one person had it, but hadn't read it

reading it now and it is really promising.

I read The Rack. OP is right, it was pretty good!

No one talked about Umbrella or Shark by Will Self when they came out. The final part of the "trilogy", Phone, comes out in July.

I forgot to name a book because I was just so excited that someone else read The Rack.

I don't know how this would play against /lit/'s obsession with Catholicism and its, uh, feelings towards female authors.

>>8778734
Not even the author has a Wikipedia page, which is kinda strange.

Saw this being discussed on r/weirdlit today

Is Noori a good translation?
