Ikari’s glasses are on top of the chest of drawers.
There are also German medical books (psychology, genetics, etc.) with several pieces of paper shoved between the pages.
Azathoth: Interesting that they're specifically identified as German - Rei can read it? There might have been potential for Asuka-related shenanigans with that down the road if Yuko Miyamura could actually speak the language.
thewayneiac: Yes, Rei reads German. The book she's reading when Asuka tries to befriend/annoy her in Ep. 09 is in German.
Dr. Nick: Books about psychology and genetics? Is Rei trying to learn about her origins?
NemZ: Could be a sign that she’s strongly predisposed to following in Yui’s footsteps academically. Heck, they might even actually be from Yui’s library, given to Rei as a gift.
Kendrix: She definitely inherited Yui's intelligence. The books themselves are probably Gendo's. Perhaps he asked her if she wanted to pick something from his bookcase and she grabbed the last thing she saw him reading - something work-related.
