By "unusual" I mean "of virtually no interest to anyone outside a small circle of people with interest in an esoteric field". Books on the changing structure of the ancient Egyptian verb, for example, or the Soviet Union's bizarre "Jewish homeland" in Siberia, or on the films of David Lynch, will all have people on this site who would be interested, but it's never the same people and it's not something that would be universally interesting.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

That sort of challenge actually makes it more difficult for the more well-read readers, I'd think

Re: Isn't that also the point? To stretch your limits, however far out they might be?

After a while, it becomes much easier to forget which have been read than to remember which haven't

So he says. Since he wrote a book about the All Blacks, I'm inclined to believe him
