Of all the books you own, what's the one which a) you have never read, and b) is least likely out of all your books to ever be read, but c) you're unlikely to get rid of?

Mine:
The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, by Julian Jaynes.

I bumped into the god Apollo this morning and he told me that the book is worth keeping just because it's a kinda cool historical relic. Like my Windows 8 release party t-shirt.

@passenger @cford It’s definitely of an era. It’s one of those fun “here’s a complicated thing that I have a simple explanation for” books, like Guns, Germs, and Steel, or practically anything by Malcolm Gladwell. (Most of those simple explanations are sadly wrong…)
