Bedside Reading

One indicator of our life in transition is the collection of reading materials on our nightstands.

Here in no particular order are what's on Jon's nightstand these days:

The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems by Tracy Hogg & Melinda Blair
What to Expect the First Year by Eisenberg, Merkoff & Hathaway
Everything For Baby Toys 'R" Us catalogue
Homepage Usability by Jakob Neilsen & Marie Tahir
Build a Better Life by Stealing Office Supplies by Scott Adams
The Feynman Lectures on Physics Volume III
The Complete Book of Pregnancy & Childbirth by Sheila Kitzinger
The Blessings of a Skinned Knee by Wendy Mogel
Rocket Ship Galileo by Robert A. Heinlein
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Marvels by Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek

What's on my night stand? Funny you should ask. For one thing, I have no nightstand! That piece of furniture has been moved to make room for a bassinet with a baby. However, in one corner of the bedroom beside my impromptu nursing station are these books that I glance at every once in a while:

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Bestfeeding by Renfrew, Fisher & Arens
Knitting Technique Volume 1
450 Knitting Stitches Volume 2

-- yet another example of how our lives are changing as our pre- and post-baby worlds collide.
