They say that people can really learn something about you by looking at what books are on your bookshelf. But I don't know... that's more learning about what you WANT people to think of you, what you DISPLAY. What I think tells something more interesting is the books that people who love you have given you because they thought you would like them, or they think that you OUGHT to read them.It at least tells you what your friends think of you.

I am generally just a lurker here, but I simply could not resist this one. My dear friend, Sonya Hove, introduced you to me because she knew we would be friends if we ever met. I'm sure, too.In California, stacked not so neatly next to my bed...The History of the Ancient World, Susan Wise BauerPeacemaking Women, Tara Klena Barthel & Judy DablerA Call to Spiritual Reformation, D.A. CarsoneBay for Dummies--(for real)anonymous, alicia britt choleESV New Testament paperbackThe Well-trained Mind, Susan Wise Bauer & Jessie WiseWomen's Guide to Running, Jeff & Barbara GallowayMarathon--You Can Do It! Jeff GallowayDisciplines of a Godly Woman, Barbara HughesLiving the Resurrection, Eugene PetersonRunners' World magazine.This was a good exercise.

On the nightstand waiting to be read on nights when one is not so exhausted so that it can be appreciated wholly: Pride and PrejudiceOn the nightstand that is currently being read on nights when one is thinking and dreaming of places other than snowy Boston: Frommer's 500 Places to See Before They Disappear

What counts as being currently read? Is it anything on my nightstand? I think I could come up with quite a list…

Unlike you, dear Rebecca, I cannot read multiple books at once. I am either too linear, too easily distracted, or too busy … or maybe “d:” all the above. I am reading “Sense and Sensibility” for the first time(!) and it is hilarious. I wish I had Elinor Dashwood’s gift of verbal acuity.-mbt

I am hopelessly sucked into the Twilight series. Sigh. I'm on Book Three, because Jacob was in Book Two and he had me at "Hello, Bella."Captivated by John Eldrige. Loved Wild At Heart, have always been curious about this one...Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
