I've always been interested by books that seem to have, or more accurately once did, have a cult following, irrelevant of genre. Books that tend to stay with people, long after they read them.
I ended up buying a copy of The Velveteen Rabbit after a visit to the eatery in Great Ayton whose name was inspired by it. Keeping it to read to my grandkids, when that day comes, although ive obviously read it myself.
More recently I've been listening to the new Sampha album, which, apart from being fantastic, has a song called Jonathan L Seagull, which turns out to be a book from the 70's about, well, a Seagull. The theme of the book seems to be quite spiritual and about being a better person and was very popular in the 70's, which interested me.
So I did the obvious thing and ordered a copy - anyone read it?
Or any other books that you've discovered via a slightly odd route?
