Why read a book by an unknown author, you may ask?
There are so many reasons but here are a couple you may consider: You never know when you’ll find a gem that you can share with others. You may also find that you’re attracted to a style of writing that is different from what you usually read. One of these authors may hit the big time tomorrow and you can say you read him or her first!
Pick one of the following and enjoy.
