I'm talking about everything from bestsellers that everyone says you just HAVE to read but just haven't gotten around to it, to books that make every English major's list at sometime.
For instance, I have never read Moby Dick, but if you lie to me and tell me it is about some fat cock instead of a whale I might give it a shot. Then again, if it's a sperm whale, maybe I would read it then.
And I was given "Bonfire of the Vanities" as a Christmas gift the year it first came out and made the bestseller lists, but just couldn't get into it and said fuckit and gave it to someone else to read. The gift giver must have thought that since I read, any book would do, which can be the case if I have no other book and am bored, but for the most part, I am a little more particular about what I read.
Oh and I have never gotten around to actually reading the DaVinci code, either.
