Random Book Challenge

This summer, I wanted to read all the classics, like War and Peace and all that other good stuff.

But then I thought it would also be somewhat amusing to pick lesser known titles and read them, obscure books that you'd find in a lonely corner of a dusty old bookstore. So I'm inviting you all to do it too.

Here's a little survey to take after every book read:

Title of Book:
By:
How did you come across this book?
Plot Summary:
What did you think?
Would you recommend it to anyone?
Other comments?


No one is obligated to do this, obviously. I'll just do it myself if no one is interested. ;D

Aside from some of the side info, isn't that essentially what we already do in the "What are you reading" thread?. I usually link the book title to amazon.com also.

Mmm, I wanted it to be more along the lines of, reporting really obscure books that you decided to pick up for the fun of it one day. But if that's not the case, then I guess this thread can just be ignored too.

Well don't let me stop you! Anyways, the idea of particularly obscure books wasn't readily apparent in the OP. Admittedly, I'm not really sure what "obscure" should be.
