Books in my bedroom bookshelf (that I really don't read): The Complete History of the World Graded Chinese Reader 1000 - 3000 words The Arabian Nights Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage (Murakami) A Thousand Splendid Suns (Hosseini) Being Mortal (Gawande) Better (Gawande) Atlas of Anatomy An Introduction to Error Analaysis At home-home, I have a lot more, but this is my current bookshelf of books I own that I took with me to my present apartment.
Currently re-reading a couple of books, those being: River of Stars by Guy Gavriel Kay Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson Both of who are among my favorite authors. Also, strangely enough, both are Canadian. Also started working on The Death of Dulgath by Michael Sullivan As should be known by now, I read quite a bit of western fantasy
I actually don't really read physical books anymore... I do have them, and I still buy them for my collection, but I usually find a way* to read them as ebooks. *Arrr! Nowadays, most of the books I'm reading are webnovels, but whenever I'm all caught up on series I'm following (I wait for at least 20-30 chapters to gather for each), I switch back to speculative fiction and read 3-5 books before coming back to webnovels. I don't see a point in listing novels written by my fellow countrymen that I've read recently, but as for novels by English authors, I've been recently re-reading novels by R.A. Salvatore (Drizzt's adventures, atm). Re-reading, because I've read most of them ~15yrs ago, but I'm reading them in English for the first time.
I only bought 2 books of my own free will... 1st was "the catcher in the rye", which my cousin brought with her after visiting me and I never really read much about it aside from a couple of pages at the beginning... 2nd was "edge of tommorrow" but its basically an alternate title to "all you need is kill" which is a light novel so I guess it's disqualified? Anyways I bought it cause I figure I'd need a pastime when I went to the mountains where electicity was scarce... this one I still keep near my bed. there was a 3rd but my father swiped it off of me before I even got it off it's wrappings, it was "Sun Tzu Art of War" that I bought during vacation. The next thing I knew my father already gave it to an acquaintance... soo yeah... I'm a book pleb... (￣ω￣)
Well, I've began reading, but kept postponing them, two books: An american tragedy - by Dreiser and The characters by La Bruyere. I also have a book of Honore de Balzac that's on the waiting list and many more.
I don't keep books in my nightstand. Just my lamp and phone. The only physical books I read these days are cookbooks. I have a bookshelf full of my cookbooks. My husband has his own collection of books. The last book I bought is a cookbook. I can't even remember the last time I bought a book for myself. I get books for the kids and borrow books from my sisters so I read whatever they read.
I don't have a night-stand but a bookshelf. For physical books, I usually buy the books I plan to re-read for pleasure or as a reference such as The Kingkiller Chronicle, Dresden Files series, Discrete Mathematics, Comptia A+ Certification, Dungeon Master Guide(Next edition), American Masterpieces from national gallery of art, and etc.
Hmm... Beside Light novels and web novels... nothing I would place at the nightstand to be honest. And I don't possess physical copy of light novel or web novel.
