Pop-up Kama Sutra (hint: full title is “The Pop-up Kama Sutra, Zero Gravity Edition”; from a BBC TV show)

Or I Will Sell My Soul For Guilt (hint: this title was supposedly written by a leper) - Donaldson?

The Secret Goldfish (hint: supposedly written by D.B. Caulfield) - Salinger?

Confession of a White Widowed Male (hint: Don’t Stand so Close to Me) - Nabukov?

Men of Fire and Women of Air (hint: from the book series that never ends) - Jordan?

Heavy Game in the Western Himalayas (hint: supposedly written by “the second most dangerous man in London”) – who would be Colonel Sebastian Moran from Conan Doyle’s “The Empty House”
Mr. Bunnsy Has an Adventure – is from The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

It’s a good job you qualified that, because The Pop-Up Kama Sutra is a real book.

Pop-up Kama Sutra - Red Dwarf

How about Death by Double Fault

Mr. Bunnsy Has an Adventure - The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, Terry Pratchett

Pop-up Kama Sutra - Red Dwarf?

Donaldson.

Nabokov?

Nope. It’s from an episode of MAS*H. BJ gets the book from home and everyone starts passing around pages. The last page is missing so everyone offers up their theories as to who did it, but each theory is impossible. Finally they call the 90+ year-old author, who gives them the answer, but that solution can’t work either.

Encyclopedia Hypnotica - Lemony Snicket

Another couple:

The Book of Good Farming
Anatomy of a Minotaur
Chemical and Bacteriological Conditioning of the Embryo
Being Two
Charlie the Choo-Choo

Many of these books sound familiar, but I can’t place them. However, I think this one is from Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.

Catcher in the Rye, of course.

Thank God for that. Now I can go back to what I was doing.

*Mad Tryst *, by Sir Launcelot Canning, is from Poe’s Fall of the House of Usher.

Great Machete Battles was being read by Leela on Futurama. As I recall, Zap Brannigan spotted her reading it in the background while Kif was talking to Amy by videophone.

You got it.

The Book of Good Farming
Being Two (by Mike Noonan)
and
Charlie the Choo-Choo (by Beryl Evans)

are all in books by the same author.

I thought that was The Rooster Crowed At Midnight.

I think you may find this page helpful in your search.
