A book you own that no one on your friends list does:
I probably have a few of these. I know at least one person on my list has the book I edited, because she wrote the introduction. But there should be enough others on my Inklings bookshelf alone: Sprookjes, a Dutch translation of Tolkien's short fiction. Old King Coel, an epic poem by an Oxford cleric named Adam Fox. George Allen and Unwin: A Remembrancer by Rayner Unwin, Tolkien's publisher. The Oxford University Calendar for 1941. The script to Orson Scott Card's readers' theatre version of The Lord of the Rings.
A CD you own that no one on your friends list does:
I probably have a few of these too. If anybody else has the complete symphonies of Joseph Kraus, or Dancing with Henry (Cowell), or Hubert Foss and His Friends, or The Second Dream of the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer from The Four Dreams of China by LaMonte Young, I'd surely like to know about it.
A DVD/VHS tape you own that no one on your friends list does:
Now this is tougher. We don't have a lot of videos, and I doubt that the nearly complete collections of Buffy, Monty Python, The Prisoner, or Jane Austen films on DVD would be unique or even unusual in this crowd. Hmm, anyone else have the video of the 20th anniversary Steeleye Span concert?
A place you've been that no one on your friends list has been:
Ursula K. Le Guin's basement.
If you want an ordinarily mapable place: Elfin Cove, Alaska (population 50). Not even B. has been there; she stayed on the ship.
