Wonderful Books You Won't Know

This is a collection of some of my all-time favorite books that you're unlikely to see on many other lists here (if any!). I love "The Great Gatsby" too, so it was hard to find some lesser-known treasures. ALL of them bear re-reading. Some are from my childhood, some are out of print. Hunt them down. They're well worth it.
