Forgotten Classics and Other Lesser Known Books (or No One Has Read this but Me!) discussion

Hello,

Feel free to nominate a topic however please keep in mind we would like the members who nominate the book to lead the discussions.

Rules
1. One book per person and the nominator must lead the discussion
2. Must have 5,000 ratings or less
3. Forgotten Classics must be 50 years or older (cut off 1967)
4. Lesser Known books must be 10 years or older (cut off 2007)

Also as a result of the poll we are only reading one book per month so you may nominate a forgotten classic or a lesser known book.

Crome Yellow
Classic from 1921. Almost 5K ratings so grab it now! ;)

A decade before Brave New World, Aldous Huxley published this short debut, apparently a gentle intelligent satire of British gentry? It's available on Project Gutenberg for free.

I started it on a vacation several months ago, but I have trouble focusing on digital books so I set it aside; would love help/ encouragement finishing it. I was enjoying it so far!

I'll take first novels for $500.

What is Crome Yellow, Alex?

(Just kidding. I think you neglected to mention the name of the book.)

Fixed. Thank you. So embarrassed.
Funny, Christopher. Thanks for softening the blow.

I actually like the choice of CROME YELLOW.

But for a book "bubbling under" at nearly 5 K, one I was enjoying, but would like a group read to help me finish, I nominate
THE DUD AVACADO by Elaine Dundy (1958).

I nominate Zazie in the Metro by Raymond Queneau. First published in 1959. 4,772 ratings but virtually unknown in the U.S. Humor, Paris and wordplay to delight us; and comes in at 157 pages.

Providing the links: The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy

I nominate Seven Alone. Just 288 ratings yet I have heard and read of many adults naming it as their childhood favorite.
