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.
@passenger Definitely this 1990 Russian edition of a 1985 metallurgy conference's proceedings co-edited by my mother.
Even if I could read Russian, I wouldn't understand the subject matter. Even if I could understand the subject matter, it is likely out of date. Even if the information was still current, I have no use for it.
But it has my mom's name on it, so I keep it.
Yeah, you wouldn't throw out a thing like that.
