Book nearest to you right now
What is it? Just curious :) (not counting ebooks in this case)

In my case, perhaps not to my credit: The New Avengers Annual (comic book)

Eckhart Tolle's A New EArth and, as usual, my dictionaries.

Napoleon Bonaparte by Alan Schom (one of my characters is reincarnated). It's a lot of fun to be able to have your character say "I was Napoleon Bonaparte in a previous life" and have it be true. :lol: Hmm, actually, almost all of my characters are reincarnated, it's part of the structure of my alternate reality universe.

We're a diverse lot, it seems :)

Right in front of me on the desk is The Collector's Encyclopedia of Barbie Dolls and Collectibles, by Sibyl DeWein and Joan Ashabraner. Next to that is Jedi Apprentice #9: The Fight for Truth. Also on my desk: Will Storr Vs. the Supernatural. There may be other books here, but I'm afraid if I dig for them the balance will be upset...and then I really will have to clean this frigging desk off.

'The Lost Language of Cranes' by David Leavitt. 'The Cut of His Coat' by Brent Shannon and, tragically, 'You on a Diet' by Roizen and Oz. (It doesn't work...)

"The Hunt for Red October," but I'm not going to count that one, because it bored me to tears. That's why it's sitting neglected on my Internet desk. Um . . . Do magazines count? "Gnosis: A Journal of the Western Inner Traditions." Otherwise, it's the books on the outward-facing side of my reference shelf (i.e. the ones I use less often): The Book of Common Prayer, the RSV Bible, and William Smith's "Smaller Classical Dictionary."

Now it's 'A Different Light' by LK Campbell. I just reviewed it for POD People :)

Goal, Motivation & Conflict by Deb Dixon. I am preparing for a pitch, so thought it would help.
