2 Bibles, a concordance, 2dictionarys Spanish and English (learning to speak Spanish to wardoff Alzheimer's, so far so good), tractor manual, electronic books and catologs, surplus center catolog, free newspapers, world Atlas, trucking magazine, calculator, check book, cellphone, tv clicker and a 38 police special Smith and Wesson 6 inch barrel. Wish mine was as neat as yours, ha.
 
Until about ten years ago I was like you in keeping books of all kinds around my easy chair. Now my easy chair is a comfortable office chair in front of my computer. I am now an Internet junky. LOL

It is funny. we have good/fast service here. So surfing the net is quick. I find I now have the at tension span of a gnat. LOL If a commercial o a page loads real slow I will click off it and go to something else. Regular TV is painful for me to watch with all the commercials. We have not had regular TV now for 8-10 years. Neither of us watch it. Get our weather from online. Read the local papers and such for local news.
 
Last couple month's of the magazines I take,last weeks Lancaster Farming,the days newspaper and the manuals for the last few machines I worked on.Plus 2 of the Rat Terriers always sit in the recliner with me,the other two sit with my wife in hers.
 
TV remote that is rarely used, my phone, the latest issues of the two magazines I get, a Bible and a Marlin 44 mag carbine is easy reach. Everything else my wife keeps cleaned up otherwise it would be a boars nest.
 
same here,,I have lots of books,,but look on the net for recipes and info ,,the computer is in the corner of the kitchen right next to the living room,,with a nice comfy chair my little girl bought for me.I can find anything on the computer,,but I still keep my books just in case..
 
I feel no danger what so ever where I live, strictly critter control, coyotes are getting real thick, and real brave around here.
 
Say twenty five years ago you didn't really need to keep firearm close by but today in this area with the gangs and drug related stuff going on you need a firearm in reach all the times. The major town 20 miles east of us has a shooting almost every day and it is mostly drug and gang related.
 
An end table containing a couple of John Grisham books, a book on spinal stenosis, a Marine Corps Officer's Guide, and a book titled "The Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marine Corps", among reading material.

The "Warrior Culture" book was written by Marion Sturkey, who flew helicopters in 'Nam as a Marine Captain. He has interesting perspectives on things. He referred to Recon personnel as "highly skilled population control specialists".

Other comments:

In a contest between a Marine Corps airplane travelling several hundred miles per hour and a mountain travelling 0 miles per hour, the mountain has yet to lose.

A night combat MED EVAC mission in a helicopter is an excellent cure for constipation.

When flying a helicopter, failure to maintain rotor RPM, altitude, and airspeed can have an adverse effect on the morale of the aircrew.

Secure a building means:

To the Navy, turn out the lights and shut the door.

To the Air Force, set up a three year lease with an option to buy.

To the Army, occupy the structure, post a guard, and permit only persons with proper identification to enter.

To the Marine Corp, target the objective, call in an airstrike, follow up with heavy artillery. Complete the destruction with supporting arms. Conduct a frontal assault to kill any survivors. Occupy the ruins, Fortify the position. Hold the ground at all costs, against all foes, until properly relieved.

He defines a "rug dance" as a spirited form of dancing during an extraordinarily one-sided chat with one's irate superior.

I just ordered another book of his titled "Murphy's Laws of Combat". I can hardly wait.
 
A pile of newspapers, a pile or two of magazines, a couple of parts and misc. catalogs, the TV & satellite remotes, daily Sudoku calendar--that's most of it, I guess.
