I'm looking for something new to read, but I'm tired of reading popular books that you find on all of the "lists" that everyone else is reading.

Do you have any good book recommendations that are off the beaten path?

I just read The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King
and loved the hell out of it.
