Ask HN: Can we make a list of obscure/unknown non-fiction books?

6 pointsby mezodover 1 year ago
I&#x27;m tired of seeing the same recommendations everywhere. What book can you recommend that you think no one else will know about that you enjoyed? Any topic is welcome!<p>I&#x27;ll start: Thinking Fast and Slow - hahaha joking, I got you there ehhh!!!<p>what about hmm: Critical Path by Buckminster Fuller ?

This would actually just be a list of less well known but still popular books.<p>Probably 90+% of books published are &quot;obscure&quot; in the sense that they didn&#x27;t become best sellers and won&#x27;t be recognized by the average person or likely mentioned in a list like you requested. Most books just don&#x27;t become popular enough to be well known. Which I think is a tough benchmark.

&quot;Lost Continents&quot; by L. Sprague de Camp (1954). Looks at Atlantis and other lost continents as rhetorical devices in ancient history and philosophy, 20th century pseudoscience&#x2F;pseudohistory, and science fiction

By definition such a list is impossible
