Quick...what books are on your nightstand?

[PrincessFiona]

In other words, what books are you reading or are you pretending to read (in my case :> )

Dr Phil's Family Matters, Montessori from the Start, Shape magazine(hahaha, that's a good one!!!), InStyle magazine, and Scientific American.

Now if only I could find time to read them other than the 10 minutes before I pass out every night.

Children of the Mind by Orson Scott Card.

That's it!

5 pregnancy books. Yes, 5.

Closest to the nightstand are three books and two magazines on knitting.

Elsewhere, migrating closer and farther from the bedstand at different times, are Shut Up and Sing (as recommended by Sally); Destructive Emotions, a conversation among the Dalai Lama, some scientists and psychologists; and it took me about an hour sitting at the dining room table to re-read A Wrinkle In Time but it was so worth it!

[houseelf]

three journals: one for DH, one for my son, and one for my daughter
a trashy romance novel which I haven't started
the last three months of Runner's world (unread)
The Safe Child book
201 questions to ask your children
Cry Beloved Country (Yeah like I could focus on THAT right now)

Since DD's birth, I can't read anything more complex than The Enquirer.

Russia, a traveller's history

Raising Adopted Children

R is for Richochet (done and ready to pass on to mom)

and The Get Fuzzy Experience. (the cartoon Get Fuzzy cracks me up every day!)

PS- plus catalogs galore! They quickly go to the recycling bin, though

and The Get Fuzzy Experience. (the cartoon Get Fuzzy cracks me up every day!)

I LOVE Get Fuzzy! It's the only cartoon I read everyday.

My nightstand is about to collapse. I keep finding books I want to read but am falling behind. Way behind!

I have at least 2 Cooks Illustrated magazines, the Fine Cooking holiday baking issue, the new Cooks Illustrated quick meals cookbook, Plant Life (re: gardening in the Pacific NW), Women of the Silk (started, having a hard time getting going).

Under the nightstand, I have Everyday Blessings (hmmm...maybe I should be reading THAT), My Antonia, Three Junes, Kosovo Book Club (or something like that).....

I think I need to face up to reality here. No way am I going to read all of those soon!

I did knock off a newer Nick Bantock book in an afternoon. That felt good.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Five Little Monkeys and a 24-pack of Curious George Books.....



...should there be some adult reading?

[Auspicious]

Aloft by Chang-rae Lee.

[SueC]

Rosa Parks autobiography
Standing in the Rainbow by Fannie Flagg
Faking It by Jennifer Cruisie (I'm about to give up on this one, I'm trying out a new author and can't get into her)
Lies Your History Teacher Told You
Halfway Home by Ronan Tynan
The Pilot's Wife

[Liz2254]

The Jane Austen Book Club (highly recommended)
Shopaholic and Sister (light reading but fun)
Little Earthquakes (the new one by Jennier Weiner of Good in Bed fame)

I train commute so I have a lot of time to either read or knit.

I've heard that Jane Austen Book Club is good. I'm going to add it to my library queue right now. Maybe I'll have finished all the other books by then.
