Books either on my bed but or on my bedside table, off the top of my head:

LSAT prep book, Kaplan

The Ultimate Math Refresher for the GRE, GMAT, and SAT, I Don't Remember

The Benjamin Franklin Reader, Franklin (compiled by Issacson, I believe)

The Power of Myth, joseph campbell

Moon in a Dewdrop, Dogen

The Tape Op book, by the good people at Tape Op

Lieh Tzu, umm, Lieh Tzu

The Bible, God (supposedly)

You Get So Alone At Times That It Just Makes Sense, Bukowski

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyce

Law School Confidential, I Can't Remember

Salt, Kurlansky

NLHE, Miller & Sklansky

Introduction to Human Nutrition, textbook by I don't know

The Architecture and Design of Man and Woman, Tsiaris (or something...)

HOH 3, Harrington

Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, Bernstein

There are others, but these are all ones I've opened up and read within the past month. Basically, I read a ton of stuff, never read one thing all the way through (it takes forever before I actually finish anything), I reread a lot of my favorites and my bed and bedside table are covered with lots of random books. Underneath my dirtbag facade, I am something of a nerd.
