What are you reading?

Recently, Shelley in her Intermittent Farm Report examined what she had been removing from her pockets at the end of each day. She had an interesting collection of objects and they gave good insights into what her daily life is like. It made me curious about what other things we have and what they might say about us. With that in mind,  I thought I'd take a look at our family and what we read. To narrow the selection down a bit, I just looked at what we had on our nightstands.

Take a look at the current books that Theodore, Wally, Ward, and I have on our nightstands. See what conclusion you would draw about us from them.

Ward

4 sudoku books, 5 Scientific American magazines, 4 woodworking magazines, 4 books: The Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould, The Man Who Forgot by Clarence E. Macartney, Cold by Bill Streever, and Commentary on Luke by Ray Summers

So what do you think?
If you concluded that Ward likes logic and nonfiction you'd be right. But more importantly, he never met a word that he didn't want to read.

June

3 crossword puzzle books,  1 Cat Fancy magazine, 3 books: Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese, At Home by Bill Bryson, Weeds by Richard Mabey

So what do you think? 
If you concluded that I like to have a few different things to read depending on my mood, you'd be right. But more importantly, I didn't realize that I had 3 crossword puzzle books on my nightstand. I need to look at the bottom of my pile more often.

Wally

1 book: Blind Man's Bluff  by by Sherry Sontag and Christopher Drew

So what do you think?

If you concluded that Wally does not want a picture of his room on my blog and he does most of his reading on his laptop, you'd be right. But more importantly, Wally likes to read on his bed because there is always a cat who wants to join him.

Theodore

1 book: Hidden Order: The Economics of Everyday Life by David Friedman, 

So what do you think?

If you concluded that Theodore also does not want a picture of his room on my blog and he does most of his reading on his laptop, you'd be right. But more importantly, he likes to read by the sunlight in his room which is just right from 1-3 in the afternoon..
