An Actually Interesting Book List

Are you like me? Do you browse through this website, click on a book list that looks interesting, only to find a collection that begins with "Harry Potter," "Pride and Prejudice," "1984," "Huck Finn," and "Moby-Dick"? Does this cause you to start rolling your eyes so hard they pop out of your skull? Wouldn't it be fun, for once, to click on a list that contains a random assortment of non-canonical books that actually pose a challenge... as in, the second word in the name of this website? I'm doing this to save you from carpal tunnel syndrome... you can only click on the same ten books you read in high school so many times.
