Rough Guide's "Cult Fiction: Mostly Factual"

Add to my lists | Print this list

From The Rough Guide to Cult Fiction (http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/226850), these are books that are (mostly) non-fiction, but are also cult classics. The list "is a flawed, idiosyncratic, intriguing selection of the cult tomes from across the spectrum."

The list is alphabetical by title.
