What book to you pull off the shelf?

Cherryh: the Chanur series
some of the Alliance/Union books
Gaiman & Pratchett: Good Omens
Tom Hold: Expecting Someone Taller
Flying Dutch
Stephen Jay Gould: Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the the Nature of
History
Lynn Margulis: Five Kingdoms

A few others, which I will remember the next time my hand (and eye) wanders to
them.

A postscript, after checking the shelves near the bathroom.

Visser: The Rituals of Dinner
Tannahill: Food in History
Pool: What Jane Austen Aie and Charles Dickens Knew
Willmer: Invertebrate Relationships: Patterns in animal evolution
