What is...The Reading Material Next to My Bed

The spill of reading material beside my bed, as of 29 September 2010:

BOOKS -
o   “Broken:  My Story of Addiction and Redemption”, by William Cope Moyers with Katherine Ketcham
(In process, half-way through the book)
o   “Walden” or “Life in the Woods”, by Henry D. Thoreau (Completed)
o   “10,000 Jokes, Toasts & Stories” by Lewis Copeland and Faye Copeland
(Stays by my bed for reading.  The large bound book was copyrighted 1939 and 1940 and includes a collection of jokes, toast and stories from that era that gives you a glimpse of the past.  Sort of like a modern day collection of Internet jokes and short stories.)
o   “Mother-Daughter Wisdom”, by Christine Northrup, M.D.
(I have not begun to read.  PBS often airs shows that she hosts when they have their on-air fund raising.)
