Hmm. Some of my books are here in Cambridge, but most of them are still in Philadelphia. So I'll try to go from memory, and take both sets into account.
1) Probably The Norton Shakespeare.
2) Looks like The Epiplectic Bicycle, by Edward Gorey.
3) The New College Latin & English Dictionary. For at least a couple years of high school, I just left it in my backpack all the time, and it got pretty beat up down there.
4) I think it's Diary of an Ugly Stepsister. I bought it in a nifty (used?) book store in Columbus, Ohio about three years ago, but I've never worked up the energy necessary to actually read it.
5) Nope. All I've got is three of the four little black three-sized objects that were stuck in the corners of a box that something I bought came in, to prevent the box from collapsing, or something.
6) Well, I've got a whole dedicated trinket/tshatshke shelf. I'm not sure what the most interesting item on it is (and it's in Philly, so I can't just stare at it till I decide), but it might be a card that has, on one side, a recipe for arugula salad, and, on the other, the name of a guy who hitchhiked in my car from, like, Inman Square to the Whole Foods in Cambridgeport a couple years ago, and the title of a math paper he recommended to me.
7) Nothing at the moment - it's cleared off for the subletter. Usually my Chanukah menorah and sometimes my Mickey Mouse top hat.
8) I don't have Speaker for the Dead. I hope you don't mind. But I'll tag The Westing Game.
