>The Complete Works of Boccaccio
Usually they publish Decameron as a two volume set, and I'm not going to pay two buck for a two volume edition.
Basically it's an edition containing everything. The binding and build quality is really good, and it was cheap too. And I needed a copy of the Decameron anyway.

>Sartre - Nausea
I picked it up simply because it was cheap. (A buck on the street instead of six or seven in antiquaries.)

>Thomas Mann - The Sorrows and Grandeur of Richard Wagner
I already read this. It's a pretty good book. He recaps the values and goals of romanticism very well, while drawing on primary sources to support his arguments.

>Natsume Soseki - 120 Haiku
Read this one too. Probably the second best haiku collection I've read. It includes the original Japanese versions + a transcription for each of them.
Though I must say, I prefer Soseki's novels for sure.

>Milán Füst - I was all this once: A book of Habi-Sadi's struggles
A gift. An orientalist collection of anecdotes and wisdom, recounted by the author near the end of his life, or at least it looks like it at first glance. Seems to be right up my alley.
