A thread on another board was "Name a good book that you're pretty sure no one else has read." From that thread, I bought:

Elleander Morning by Jerry Yulsman
The Tenants of Moonbloom by Edward Lewis Wallant
Freaks Amour by Tom deHaven

While browsing for those at Amazon, I also came away with:

The Slaves of Solitude by Patrick Hamilton
