queensthiefGosh, it's been quiet around here!
What great things have you read recently that are totally obscure? Something other people are unlikely to ever find on their own?
I'll go first:
Boris by Cynthia Rylant - if you've ever loved a pet, you'll like this one. So sweet! And, it's told in verse.
A teen sci-fi series that you'll like if you're a Star Trek nerd * - the Galahad series by Dom Testa. A comet has infected the earth with a disease that is killing off all the adults. As a last-ditch effort to save the human race, scientists build a spaceship to travel to another planet, and choose 251 disease-free teens who must learn how to get the ship there, and colonize the planet. Lots of fun. The first book is The Comet's Curse.
* No, not me. Not a bit.

Date: 10/6/12 02:53 am (UTC)Oddly, the first obscure book to come to my head (and the only one I can think of right now... agh) is a picture book called The Ice Cream Cone Coot which I absolutely loved as a kid. I has no plot, its just a book in verse about different "kinds" of birds. I haven't really met anyone else who is familiar with it though.
Have I mentioned that Les Mis is long? Its long.
