Man. I always considered myself a fairly well-read sport, but I've never cracked a single title on that list. Are your tastes esoteric, or am I just completely behind it?
As for your question, I buy crappy old books by the box and happen to be in the room where I shove them all. Unpacked piles usually indicate which I've read though, so I'll grab one:
Thompson, Jim. Kill Off, The Nothing Man, & Bad Boy - 3 Novels, 1986 reprint Hale, Constance. Sin And Syntax, 1999 Campbell, Joseph. Hero With A Thousand Faces, 1968 Burroughs, William S. Last Words of Dutch Schultz, 1969 Phillips, Julia. You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again, 1991 (embarrassing) Roethke, Theodore. Collected Poems, 1961 Thody, Philip. Albert Camus, a Study of His Work, 1957 Kundera, Milan. Laughable Loves, 1974 May, Cliff. Western Ranch Houses, 1958 (clip art) Huxley, Aldous. Devils of Loudon, 1952 Kazantzakis, Nikos. the Odyssey: a Modern Sequel, 1958 (haven't read it) Cowley, Malcolm. Exile's Return, 1961 Hesse, Herman. Stories of Five Decades, 1972 Scharff, Robert. Wood Refinishing, 1956 (?) and a cheap, incomplete set of Poe from the '30s.
Currently I'm reading the Hunting of the President, by Joe Conason & Gene Lyons, feeling nicely defiant and self-righteous.
