What's a book you've read that you wouldn't be surprised to find out that you're the only person on this board who has read it?

The meme answer would be to say 'most books', but in all honesty if there's a good book then I'd be surprised if literally nobody here had read it.

The closest I can think of would be The Cannibal, as it's one of the few books nobody I've ever met has read, but I learned about it here so at least one /lit/izen has read it.

Brautigan is to books what Bob Dylan is to music, something for depressive old hippies to remember the "good old days"

I don't get this meme, but Sebald is very popular here, no?
>>
>>9976705
no

nobody reads literature on /lit/
>>
>>9976705
Fairly. The Sontag collection of essays antedates the Sebald novel by 15 years but your confusion's justified. The Sontag collection is Under the Sign of Saturn, not The Rings of-- I confused the titles.

>>9976875

I've been pushing Against Interpretation and Under the Sign of Saturn hard on here for a while, I'm glad someone else liked them. She was a damn good essayist

And her obvious love of books infectious, especially if she catches (you) young. Is the former volume mentioned the one that concludes with the 60 or so page transcript of her time in North Vietnam? If so I've read that one as well, but checked it out of the library when in undergrad. What a fabulous essay that is! And what a fun, seriously informative writer she is all 'round, just bursting with positive energy.

that's opposed to politics, leftist, sexual, or otherwise. she's a fine writer, and proceeds with the kind of passion anyone who loves books for their own sake can appreciate. also, the snippet gt'd IS qualified. personally, i'm not ashamed for having been very young, naive, and overzealous about books, once.
