I only ever have the book I'm currently reading beside my bed. But a couple of favorites always find their way in to my office. One Hundred Years of Solitude, a Farewell to Arms chief amongst them.

Thumbs up for One Hundred Years of Solitude. I have that along with Rabbit Run, GEB, and a physical chemistry textbook on my bedside (or, more accurately, behind bed) table. I also tend to keep the latest issue of Nature there.

I read one of the Rabbit books, I think it was Run Rabbit Run. It was almost too real for me to read, I found it uncomfortable. I read One Hundred Years of Solitude while I was in Antigua Guatemala. It was a wonderful reading experience.
