The books on my desk

Forgive the mess and my excess use of my newly purchased digital camera, with which I'm in love. I decided to shed some light in to my personality by showing you which books are on my desk at the moment. They are:

• The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging
  
• MLA Handbook Sixth Edition
• Problogger
  
• The New New Journalism
• Reading Like a Writer
• The Scene Book
• Lolita
• The Things They Carried
• The Starving Artist's Survival Guide
• The Pocket Muse
• The Lost Soul Companion
• The Elements of Style

Both Lolita and The Things They Carried will always have a home on my desk. Huffington Post and Problogger, on the other hand, are current reads and might find their way to the appointed shelf once I'm done with them.

Tonight, I'm going book hunting Gut Symmetries by Jeannette Winterson. I hope to find a(n) used copy of the book as I would rather not pay full price for something I'm unsure I'd like. My partner in crime/hunt will be Jerry.
