The First Verse by Barry McCrea. A freshman at Trinity College in Dublin becomes caught up in a strange cult of people who consult random passages from random books for every decision in their lives. I don't know why a book with a plot that seems tailor made for literature fans is so obscure. Plus this book has such vivid descriptions of Dublin's university scene that I feel like I could find my way around just from having read it, and a realistic portrait of a young gay man navigating his first relationships. Definitely an intriguing read.
