The problem isn't that I don't own obscure works, nor that I have exactly the same tastes as all my friends; it's that I and most of my friends have such broad tastes and interests, and I've got such a broad assortment of friends, that even the obscure stuff overlaps. Lots of answers come to mind if the questions are changed to "... that very few people on your friends list have".

As well as being a scientist, Wilkins was a theologian, and the argument was that if God had made worlds then it's within divine providence to put beings on them." -- Allan Chapman, quoted in an article by Steve Connor in The Independent about a 17th Century (yes, seventeenth) proposal for Lunar exploration.
