How does "The Host" qualify as a lesser known book? It was an instant best seller and continues to dominate the top of the New York Times Best Sellers list. Seriously.

I second that.Also "The Little Prince." Very well known, in fact.
The Giver and Beauty are also both very popular
Eh Percy Jackson has a hollywood movie,
Someone remove The Giver and the Pearcy Jackson one. They're definately well-know, the former being required reading for middle schoolers in many school districts
Sarah wrote: "Someone remove The Giver and the Pearcy Jackson one. They're definately well-know, the former being required reading for middle schoolers in many school districts"I'll delete both the Percy Jackson's (if it has a movie, it's known) and The Giver.
Edit: That's done, and I also deleted Never Let Me Go, since that has a movie too.
I Capture the Castle and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall have movies too....but even they aren't known...
Removed a few books that weren't at all lesser-known.
I don't think you can say that "A Fine Balance" is lesser known - a critically aclaimed best seller that was on Oprah's list. No Oprah book should qualify as lesser known. I saw Andromeda Strain here too - a New York Times Best Seller. But worst of all, The Lovely Bones ...
The Host definitely should not be on here, it instantly went on best seller lists. And The Lovely Bones is really well known too, especially now that the movie is out.
I don't think anything by Pratchett had be considered "little known" -- We Free Men has almost 12,000 ratings!
I think this is one of the highest quality most appropriate lists I've seen.
Daughter of the Flames should totally qualify! I would show it to the world if I had the resources. I. LOVE. That. Book. >w<
I removed The Host and The Lovely Bones. I don't think any book with more than 100k reviews can be considered "lesser known". Personally I would cap it at 50k reviews, but since I haven't read the ones that would be excluded by that rule, I'll leave them.
Interview with John Greene (Author of The Fault In Our Stars) in Goodreads All Sorts!: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/9...
There are so many lesser known books that deserve a lot more popularity and credit than they have... I went through my own list for this Listopia and only added lesser known books that I had given four or five stars. The books I added have not been read by a lot of GR members, as all books added have a low number of ratings.To name just a few of my votes: The Rape of Tamar by Dan Jacobson, The God Boy by Ian Cross, Uncle Piper of Piper's Hill by Tasma, Prelude To Christopher by Eleanor Dark and In The Winter Dark by Tim Winton. And that's just my top five... :-)

Those classics shouldn't be on this list either, in my opinion, as they can hardly be called 'lesser known'. But then again, that might just be a matter of opinion... :-0
I don't think Pride and Prejudice or To Kill a Mockingbird belong on this list. Both have over 1 million ratings. Otherwise, a fantastic list!!!

In Brazil, i.e., Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are the only Brontë sisters novels known by more than 10 people.

To Kill a Mockingbird has to be the most popular Lesser Known Book of all time lol...
How can To Kill a Mockingbird be a lesser known book when it has 3,275,202 ratings?
Throne of Glass is on here? People will NOT shut up about that series. It's EVERYWHERE! Same with Cinder from the Lunar Chronicles. Both series are far from "lesser known."
Cant say I believe in this list any more. There are far too many well knowen books on here.
Rachel wrote: "Cant say I believe in this list any more. There are far too many well knowen books on here."I agree. The Bone People (#79), to name just one, won the Booker, for Pete's sake. But I guess as the voters come from different countries, it is different to all what is 'lesser known'.
Usually lists like this set a limit for how many ratings a book can have. Books with more than that number of ratings are removed from the list. What do you think would be a good limit? I think any book with more than 100,00 ratings is way too well known I'd suggest a limit of 50,000 but if there's a consensus on setting a different limit I'm good with that. Also how do you feel about books that have been turned in to movies. Should they all be removed or only the ones with more then a certain number of ratings?
Checked for duplicates and removed the books mentioned earlier in this thread and books with more than a million rations.
Removed books with over one million ratings and some spam.
Agatha Christie and Stephen King do not belong on this list ! Personally I have added books by some very gifted writers: Nickolas Butler who writes about the Midwest and Ron Rash who writes about Appalachia.
Anyone can add books to this list.
