Bedbooks

March 5, 2009 | RSS | EMAIL | PRINT | 6 COMMENTS

This is the kind of stuff I just love on the web. Someone started a Flickr group for photos of the books next to your bed (kind of reminiscent of what's in your bag). Anyway, here are my current bedbooks:

  1. Being Digital

  2. The Forever War (Currently Reading)

  3. The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google

  4. Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, & the Economic World

  5. Marvels

  6. A Natural History of the Senses

  7. The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007

You can use some HTML (a's, br's, p's, oh my!) if you'd like, if you don't know what that means, don't worry about it.

awww i love that idea! I'm gonna do mine tonight. I have to get rid of Will's book about guitar pedals first though. (Your list tells me that we read very very different books:) I need to break out of kids fiction and mountain climbing stories.)

This is very timely--I just reduced the number of bedside books from about 25 to just a few this weekend. But I still want to take the pic. Fun idea.

@Amber: Official rules state: "No posing, no replacing Trinny & Susanna with the 'Critique of Pure Reason', just whatever is there, right now. (You're allowed to turn books around so we can read the titles.)" But I guess you can move Will's books ...

@Bryant: Awesome, leave a comment with the link.

it may be a lack of netiquette to use this comment as a venue for saying two things completely unrelated to this post, but alas...apologies in advance.

1) would you consider writing (or have you already written) a post about how you manage your time spent producing/consuming online?? sounds like a gargantuan topic, but I don't understand how you make time to read, blog, twitter, etc., etc. and I'd Love any tips/tricks. I don't even know what I'm looking for but I suppose it might look something like this - you do all your reading in the morning, writing at night/on airplanes, and responding/commenting throughout the day.

2) I've twittered this question more than once to no avail, and I'm sure you know the answer. is there a way to RSS/follow/whatever your comments on a post, so that you can be notified whenever someone comments on it after you? sometimes peeps respond to my comments and I don't wanna go fishing around in posts I read last week to find them.

regardless of anything, thank you.
