Another pointless thread to get to know your fellow forumers better...

Question: What's the title of the nearest fiction book (so no dictionaries or specialized books here) from where you sit right now? It doesn't need to be yours, it just needs to be near you

Me: A.C. Doyle: The Hound of the Baskervilles. Right next to my keybord. There because I wanted to read it again, but didn't start yet.

Valley of the Horses by Jean Auel

I have worn out several copies of most of the books in the Earth Children series.

[Zeal]

the nearest works of fiction? most the ones I'd read on my own are in a large bookshelf on the other side of a wall (in another room) all equal in distance from me

closer to me is an old X-men Evolution Comic book which is in one of the drawers inside an antique armoire (inside this room) and on top a nearby night stand are "The Secret Garden" and "The Little Princess"
I've been reading them to my niece every night she sleeps at my house.

Normally I'd have some books from the "American Girl" series too but I think she took them home with her.

Edit: I just looked through the armoire and found "Children of Dune" inside. lol

No fiction in my office, just manuals about accounting, mold, water, smoke, and fire.

I do have a Steve Berry book in my car though...The Venitian Betrayal. I've been reading this series, when I have time, the last few months.

[PantherX]

Jules Verne 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Only because I am reading it for the first time and it is on my iPhone right here on the desk.

Closest paper book would be Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game, I re-read it about once every two years.

[Azeem]

Not sure if it counts as fiction since it's technically folktales and myths, but a translated copy of the Samguk Yusa. [I'm such a nerd... ]

[tomnobles]

Classical Chinese can't be fiction. Good grief you are a nerd.

Just joking!

How about a new fiction Star Trek Titan: Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L. Bennett

Actually that is the second one I just finished Star Trek Vanguard and before that, New Frontier. All were written this year....well, published.

The little boy and girl in that picture looked exactly like my older brother and sister. We used to tell the neighborhood kids that they modeled for the painting. Was a fun joke to pull on people back when I was a kid.
