The twist is this: describe the book from the perspective of the main character. Let other people try to guess the books title or author. If there's no main character, try a quote or figure something fun out.
I know you're all reading the most obscure books from the local antiquarian, so let the collective goal be to make just one right guess.

I'll start:
That fateful day, when I left the monastery to collect herbs - seemingly not so different from any other day - still clouds my inner eye in the moments before sleep takes me. The thought of Lises warmth; and her returning to her husband the day after. I was another person then; but the memory is still mine.
It is a cloud, but it is the most beautiful cloud I have. Beaten only, perhaps, by Narcissus.
