I've read all of everything. Reading had been my thing since I learned to read. I read all of Anne of Green Gables and read The Color Purple by the time I was 8. I've read all of Ender's game, and Wool, and Octavia Butler.
I've read all of Vonnegut, Tim Robbins, Ursula Le Guinn. I've read VC Andrews as a middle schooler.
I've read all the classics. I hated Catch 22 and Confederacy of Dunces. Too many years of solitude bored me.
I've read Pillars of The Earth.
I NEED OBSCURE NOVELS.
Using lists, I've read the BEST memoirs, sci-fi, young adult, speculative fiction, romantasy, historical fiction, anything on a booklist or HUGO award. I love reading.
Give me your best live in your head obscure book.
Drink if I've read it.
BUT, you have to explain why it rocks.

Have you read Annie Ernaux’ books? If not, I highly recommend them. She is a French writer and each book is a memoir about various aspects of her life. They are all excellent. But, she did win the Nobel prize a few years ago, so maybe you have already read her.
Okay, even more obscure: The End of the Story by Lydia Davis. A book about love and the way we lose ourselves in it. Beautifully written, with incredible detail and accuracy and honesty.
You’ve read Gene Wolfe and David Foster Wallace I presume? If not, wow that was easy.
