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

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.

top tier desu

looks like genre fiction

it isn't

Both sound good, I had never even heard about them. Thanks for the discoveries.

alice munro's short stories
margerite yourcenar's memoirs of hadrian

dylan thomas' under milk wood/poetry
flann o'brien's novels

never seen discussed *discussed here

*namedropping does not count

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.

Never seen this one mentioned

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 Veeky Forums's obsession with Catholicism and its, uh, feelings towards female authors.

...

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?

I read this in my all boys Catholic high school

It's great.

It's excellent

...

I need to read this again soon, it is excellent.

This is what it has come to, huh

not him, c'mon that shit is annoying. plenty of people browse both for various reasons. it's gonna be okay.

Forgetting Elana.

Deserves a lot more recognition.

>becker's the denial of death

One of the greatest, comfiest, most moving books I've ever read.
