The Original:

1) Are there many books that you’ve read that are below 250 ratings? Below 100? Any under 25? Under 10?
2) How did you hear about the most obscure books you read?
3) What are some of your favourite unknown (under 250 ratings) books that you’ve read and why should more people read them?
4) Any other thoughts?
(For example:
Do you think the most popular books you’ve read are usually better than the least popular ones?
Why do you think your least read books are so unknown?
Do you like reading unknown books or popular books better?
Do you want to read more obscure books?)
5) Who do you tag?
