The joys of the obscure, the weird, the unknown, the surprisingly kind of good

[personal profile] iknowcommawrite reviews a surprisingly kind of good pulp porno novel with an even more surprising author.

We had this exchange in comments:

Me: I love reading reviews of books like this, that are surprisingly interesting, virtually unknown, and not reviewed anywhere else.

[personal profile] iknowcommawrite : I also love finding these virtually unknown books--it's like saving some little piece of history that would otherwise be lost.

Me: Yes, exactly. It's also why I love reviewing them.

Which is why I am still trying to review everything I read and still encourage you to join in, and why I was so delighted with the weird books several of you have sent me and have them on my very large to-read stack. If not for my willingness to pick up random stuff, I would never have experienced the joys of Sit on my face, Miss Lippman, and know the enamel reality of my teeth or the recipe book with instructions for surviving a cobalt bomb.

What weird and unknown books have you read lately, or ever?
