Something be Neal Stephenson, lol.

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace

Learning Python from O’Reilly

House of Leaves

Complete works of Shakespeare, I guess? For an ebook though, I have an 11k-page single file that has all 15 Wheel of Time books, that was a fun read, June through November

Imagica. The original version in a single book.

I have a hardcover Mark Twain anthology. It’s either that or the Jack London collection.

I have a dictionary of English’s most unpronouncable words (90% of it is simply medical or other scientific words). It’s like 2 feet thick and as big as a coffee table.

I only bought it because of its absurd size and it is also the most expensive book I own (IIRC it was about $200).

Either the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy in a side book or On Food and Cooking.

My wife has me beat with The Globes Illustrated Shakespeare the complete works

1989 Chilton Auto Repair Manual

The Complete Novels of James Joyce

The thickest one is probably “The joy of cooking” -a cook book of course. If not that than a “Sword of truth” series book cause those are pretty thick too. Maybe I’ll grab a ruler when I get home…and some bugles of course.

Children of Pride

I have a 词海 hanging around. That’s a single-volume dictionary of every word in the (modern) Chinese language. It doesn’t qualify to be a pocket book for certain and not even a handbook. It belongs on a podium like a medieval tome.
