This is my book stack. I trip over it at least once a day. Please admire how it is just a book or two away from being the perfect height for a bedside tea mug table - making it educational AND practical! - whilst I pretend that I am a writer.
(I feel the need to point out that all the alien/UFO related books are because I'm attempting to write a short story about a man who believes he was abducted, rather than because I'm actually interested in that malarkey. MY LOCAL LIBRARIANS ALREADY THINK I'M SOME UFO-OBSESSED NUTJOB.)
