Ask HN: What's your favorite book that nobody you know has heard of?

Jonathon Livingston Seagull - again well known on here, but not so much generally

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges.

Anyone who browses HN regularly will probably enjoy the book "Most Secret War" by R.V. Jones

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists - Proof that politics hasn't changed much in 100 years

I can vouch for Travels - nice to see someone mention it! It is a great book.

Travels, by Michael Crichton - a sort of autobiography with some excellent lessons on life.

Fragment - Warren Fahey A Michael Crichton-esque thriller set on an island

"Consilience" E.O. Wilson (Nobel Laureate) Small book, small words, short sentences; will kick your butt.

This book is a masterpiece.

Most people haven't heard of Betty White's Miracle at Carville.

Courtship Rite, by Don Kingsbury. Plot is kind of bland but the worldbuilding is fantastic

The latest one, Killing Commendatore, was a good read.

Alexander Grothendieck - Récoltes et Semailles
