From 1987:

Pat Buchanan: “who are your favorite authors?”

Donny: “well, I have a number of favorite authors. I think Tom Wolfe is excellent.”

Buchanan: “did you read Bonfire of the Vanities?”

Donny: “I did not.”

Buchanan: “what’s the best book you’ve read?”

Donny: “I really like Tom Wolfe’s last book.”

Buchanan: “which book?”

Donny: “his current book. it’s just out.”

Buchanan: “Bonfire of the Vanities.”

Donny [points to ear]: “I really can’t hear with the earphone, by the way.”

But there is the rumor that he kept a copy of Mein Kampf on his nightstand, but even that was probably just aspirational.
