Books on my nightstand

I always have a stack of books that I'm reading. I have a Kindle Fire on the way, so I will have a different kind of stack going! Here's what I'm looking at now:

 

Metaphors We Live By - George Lakoff and Mark Johnson

The Death of Adam - Marilynne Robinson

Imagination in Place - Wendell Berry

Nine Gates - Essays - Jane Hirshfield

American Pastoral - Philip Roth

The Creation of Feminist Consciousness - Gerda Lerner
