Yep. I have a bunch. Keep em' in a word doc on my computer, and add new ones constantly.
I look them over when I'm trying to find a better word in my writings.
Some of my favorites for the sake of this thread:

miasma
lackadaisical
zenith

In a way. On the inside front flap of every book I own, I keep a list of words that I didn't know the definition of when I read it. I find the definition and then see if I still remember it after the book. If not, back to the dictionary!
