as the favorite book no one ever heard of

I agree with you--not a name you hear a lot, but when I start talking about it, there's always someone that pipes up "Oh, I loved that book." Has ended up on some top 100 lists, too. Predictably SF, but the one that surprised was a "100 Favorite Beach Reads" from a couple of years ago.
