Obscure Classics

I know "obscure classics" might be something of an oxymoron, but "obscure" is a relative term, meaning that it's not as well known as most other classics that you were forced to read in high school or college. Some of these books are by famous authors but are overshadowed by the author's more famous works but whether that's the case or not, most people have not heard of these books. How many have you read?
