Narrative:

Runway deviation occurrence jan/sun/03 XA15Z. While taxing to the active runway 19R at sna airport, and after reading back the ground controller's instruction, I evidently was distracted and misunderstood the proper ground clearance and taxied the aircraft onto the departure end of runway 19L. My distraction was the airport layout and instrument approach book fell to the floor of the aircraft. While retrieving this book, I inadvertently taxied to the wrong area. As soon as I realized I was in the wrong position, I immediately taxied off the runway at the first available taxiway and contacted ground control.
