I mostly like to read non fiction and have a stack of books on my night stand.
Politics is a favorite of mine, but I can't share the titles I am currently reading for fear of getting banned from this site for leaning a little to the opposite side of center than some here  
Safer books on my night table I can mention:
A couple of books of the Massey Lectures (Canadians may recognize)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massey_Lectures
After Politics my second favorite type of books to read are adventure or wilderness related.
Just finished this book abobut an avalanche forcaster/ rescue specialist from Alaska
Snowstruck: In the grip of Avalanches by Jill Fredston
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Snowstruck/Jill-Fredston/e/9780156032544
Blaster's Handbook- VERY boring but I have to recert my ticket in a week.
Clock radio is accross the room so I have to get up to turn it off.
No guns.

"The Two-Space War" by LTC Dave Grossman (RET) and Leo Frankowski. Militaristic Sci-Fi book, kinda. I normally don't do sci-fi, but written by LTC Grossman, I couldn't turn it down, and it's pretty darn good.
"Once an Eagle" by Anton Myrer. Fiction military novel.
"On Combat" by LTC Dave Grossman. Non-fiction, psychology.
Alarm clock.
I plead the fifth on bedside firearms.
1/2 bag of Sojo's treats for good dog, when she bothers to be good.
Miscellaneous junk (I'm an unrepentant pack rat... if I wanted neatness, I'd live in the barracks, dammit.)

I just read "Death in Bloodhound Red" by Virginia Lanier. I get a kick out of the whodunnit novels. This one was pretty good- I'm going back for another in the series...

.....and Northanger Abby ....
A good one. 
Persuasion is probably my favorite of hers.
But of course, I'll take any Jane Austen book, any time.

i am such a loser, i love antything jane austin, and anything fantasy(dragons, elves, etc...).
i like northanger mostly because of her writing style in this one, austin interjects all the time with her thoughts, etc....that's how i write, or rather, have been trying to NOT write, teachers don't like it too much.....

I have no night stand on my side. Alarm clock on my wifes dresser and just this on my side.
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!! |
