The Book That Slapped You

How this was counted. Counted by distinct redditor. A reply that seconds a book (“another vote for Evicted”) counts as a mention the same as naming it first — agreement is what a tally is made of — but a reply that only links the text or quotes a line does not. The asker's own books are excluded. Four entries aren't books: This Is Water and Consider the Lobster are essays, Harrison Bergeron a short story, Letters to a Young Poet a set of letters. They stay, because each was somebody's answer. Note the shape of this one against the other book tallies: the question asked for the un-obvious, so the counts stay low and the tail is nearly the whole list.
