Alternative Reads: The English Teacher Looks at Some Books That Aren't on Every List

Our Maverick English Teacher and general contrarian comes up with 80 works of fiction that you don't see every day on List Challenges (except for a few that show up on HIS lists.). Some are minor classics, some are lesser-known works of well-known writers, some are undiscovered gems, and some are ... well, odd. All of them are, however, worth a read.
