Dr John Watson's original accounts of the arrest of Wilson the Canary trainer, the Red Leach and the tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra, amongst others.
There have been several recent speculative accounts, but after all this time, I think the world is now ready for the truth.
Would also love to find a copy of Ed Reardon's 70's classic, Who Would Fardels Bear?
Sally Field tried her best, but
the film just wasn't the same.

The pages are stuck together.

'The Amazing Adventures of Captain Gladys Stoatpamphlet and her Intrepid Spaniel Stig Amongst the Giant Pygmies of Beccles. Volume 8'
I've read the first 7 volumes I thought volume 8 was a rumour. Do you have a PDF?
The Amazing Adventures of Captain Gladys Stoatpamphlet and her Intrepid Spaniel Stig Amongst the Giant Pygmies of Beccles.
Isn't that Captain Beefheart's second album?
Only of the expurgated version.

I'd love to read "Runners & Other Dreamers" by John L Parker JR, but not quite enough to spend £40 on a copy as it's out of print.
The remarkable Life of Howard Moon-Colon, Explorer
I have the last discworld novel sat on a shelf, unopened, seems I just don't want to read it.
Ethel the Aardvark goes Quantity Surveying.
I've been a QS for 20 years and i've yet to encounter an aardvark. I'm dying to know how it turns out.

I started it, read twenty pages or so, but never went back. I don't want it to have to end.

LOTR the braille edition.
Sled driver by Brian Shul would be good to look at - story of the SR-71 blackbird. Costs a few hundred.
Type of thing you'd probably find in a local library somewhere.

Probably a little drier than you'd like and with fewer ripping yarns but there's always

I can't finish "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values": The knowledge of Chris Pirsig's death/murder stops me. Although reading this [url= http://theaetetus.tamu.edu/online-texts/zen/zen-afterword.html ]http://theaetetus.tamu.edu/online-texts/zen/zen-afterword.html[/url]I will try again.

I have one copy of pretty much every single UK edition of that book & US First Editions...true story
Anyway the single one book I own but just can't get through is Mein Kampf

Same here, I've got the limited edition version in the slipcase, I just don't have the heart to even take it out of the case, knowing there will never be another Tiffany Aching story. I discovered I needed to do some dusting when I got to the bit in one of the books where the bees start dancing!
There's another book, [i]The Wizard Of The Pigeons[/i], which I read once, and it made such an impression that I couldn't even pick it up, let alone read it, because the whole, rather dark story would come back. It was around thirty years before I read it again, and I'm not sure if it won't be another thirty years before I give it another go.

Got it on a free digital download (out of copyright I assume 😆 ), but not read it. Curious though.
I get the feeling Nigel Farage will have though. Judging by his own books being compared to it by some of the comedy reviews on Amazon 😀
If you've ever had a three year old, who really really wants to watch the tweenies, but tweenies also coincides with dinner and you want said three year old to eat the aforementioned dinner...and if someone tried to transcribe the said conversation.....yeah thats kind of mein kampf.
Shame really as I was kind of intrigued as to look into the eugenics that the UK and US governments were simultaneously implementing at the same time.
I fancy reading 'Norways arctic highway' By John Douglas, but its on Amazon for thirty quid and I'm not [i]that[/i] fussed.
Oh and the third part of the Kingkiller chronicle if the bugger ever gets off his arse and writes it.

3/4's of the way through & just stopped, taken it on 2 holidays since, with the specificity intent to finish it & just don't want to. Last holiday place even had a recreated/refurnished sheppard's hut next to it, thought this might be time but no...
I can't finish "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance:
I got halfway through, tore it asunder and lobbed it in the bin.
It wasn't really for me 
Price Pritchett's "You 2" or pronounced You Squared. I got this book for $30 bucks on Amazon and lost in in the plane. Now although it's around 11 bucks I feel guilty to get it again.
