Thing is, while many know the movie, relatively few know the book.

No, but it's not advisable to nominate or +1 too many choices. It's best to stick the book or 2 you MOST want to read to give them a better chance of making the poll/winning.

From the reviews that I've read these are more like nonfiction travel brochures, so not exactly what we're looking for.

I read Feast more than 20 years ago, I think... it's still living rent free in my brain! Just ran into a cool review of it by Grady Hendrix.
