Meme via [livejournal.com profile] chargirlgenius: List the ten books physically closest to you.

Not counting the dozen or so novels in my Palm Pilot:

Practical approaches in the treatment of women who abuse alcohol and other drugs, an unauthored report by SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).
Interpersonal psychotherapy of depression, by Klerman, Weissman, Rounsaville, and Chevron.
Pain and behavioral medicine: A cognitive-behavioral perspective, by Turk, Meichenbaum, and Genest.
INS dictionary of neuropsychology, by Loring.
Drug addiction research and the health of women, an unauthored report by NIDA (the National Institute on Drug Abuse).
Clinical health psychology in medical settings: a practitioner's guidebook by Belar and Deardorff.
Neuropsychological assessment: Third edition, by Lezak. This book weighs more than Alex did at birth.
HIV vaccine handbook: Community perspectives on participating in research, advocacy, and progress, edited by Snow.
Cognitive therapy of depression, by Beck, Rush, Shaw, and Emery.
Emotional expression and health, edited by Nyklicek, Temoshok, and Vingerhoets.

Heh. If I do that, it's, um, 10 Georgette Heyers, because I'm sitting in my library and my chair backs up against the H section of the Fiction shelves. Not very exciting.

Georgette Heyer! If I did this, I have a few Heyers within arm's reach too.

(I'm also glad to see I'm not the only who catalogs my books.... though they have fallen out of order in the past few years. Must fix that.)

There's about 30 Heyers behind me. Our books are categorised in the library. Outside that, it all gets a bit hectic. We're working on it with the help of librarything.com

My guess is "bathroom." Nothing like a little bit of light reading.

GAH! Aside from the DSM IV, I'd have to count the e-copy of a recording of Northanger Abbey on my desktop in order to find any books at all in this room.

No wonder this place feels so strange.

They don't have to be IN the room... :-)

Like Beaq, I'd have to walk around to quite a few cubicles to even find a total of ten books.

I sure hope you're at work.

I'm sitting at the dining room table, and such a list for me would be totally misleading as the place is littered with books that have nothing much to do with me. The closest books of mine are Caring for Your Historic House, Chapman's Piloting, a Cruising Guide to the Chesapeake, Harken and West Marine catalogs, and the novels of Kurt Vonnegut and William Gibson. (One of the effects of renovation is that our shelves are totally disordered overall, with little chunks of order about the size of an armload of books)
