Ooh, ooh, I have one! I joined this group just to be able to tell you all about Hrabal's Too Loud a Solitude. Also Fatelessness by Kertesz, which is less obscure.I hope you enjoy these. Thank you all for your interesting suggestions.

Amari, Hrabal is amazing. Definitely check out his other books if you haven't yet. I thought Too Loud a Solitude was the best of them, but they're all pretty good.
So these may not be totally obscure, but in my opinion, they should definitely be more widely read than they currently are.
1. Forever by Pete Hamill
2. Different Seasons by Stephen King - This collection of novellas includes The Shawshank Redemption, and the novella that become the movie Stand By Me
3. Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing by Ted Conover
4. All Over But the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg
5. The Myth of You and Me by Leah Stewart
6. Freedom Road by Howard Fast
7. Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene
8. And Both Were Young by Madeleine L'Engle - These last 2 were two of my absolute favorite books growing up.
9. La Ciociara by Alberto Moravia - It's in Italian, but the language and descriptions are beautiful.
10. The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
