Obscure, Odd, and Offbeat: Some Great Reads From Under the Literary Radar

An English teacher's idiosyncratic list of great reads that you may not be aware of. Some are works from established authors that never found an audience, some are genre pieces deserving of a wider audience, some are bestsellers from years past that have fallen into obscurity, and some are just undiscovered treasures. How many do you know?
