Or, as in my case, on your kitchen table?
In many magazines, such as People or Vanity Fair, there is often a column where famous people are asked what they are reading. Sometimes their answers are something you might expect (Kyle Richards is reading the Fifty Shades trilogy, okay), sometimes they're a little surprising (Trisha Yearwood read Team of Rivals? did she finish it?), and sometimes a little dubious (Leann Rimes reads?).
Let's be honest, though...if I were randomly asked what book(s) I am reading right now, chances are I wouldn't have a stellar, wow-inducing response. I'm often reading a mystery, or only halfway through a couple books, or slogging through something that is a couple years old and it might have a bit of dust on the cover. Right now, I'm reading The Bookman's Tale. It's good, I'm almost done. But, the picture below tells the real story: those books have been on my table for a few months, I haven't opened at least one of them, and I'm not even showing you the books on my nightstand, or the books I have on my desk at work. So many books, so little time. And flat surfaces.
So, reader, what is on your nightstand or table??
About the Author
I work at the Info Desk on the second floor, and I select books for the adult nonfiction collection. I have a degree in anthropology, which really helps in selecting...well...almost anything. I also manage the Art To Go collection of framed prints and original art, and the nonfiction DVDs.
What do you like to read?

I loved this book! Smart, engaging, and very funny, and more than a little thought-provoking without being overly sentimental. I kept thinking to myself "I wish I could be there, with these people, doing what they're doing!" and I think that's a good sign of a heartfelt work. Joy Nash is a great reader, as well--her inflection is spot-on. -Candice
