One book at a time? Or more than one? If more, are they different types/genres? Or similar? (We’re talking recreational reading, here — books for work or school don’t really count since they’re not optional.)
I almost always have more than one book going at a time. Usually there are a couple on my bedside table, and depending on whether there is an impending book club deadline or not, I might focus on one or the other. Frequently I also have a book in the bathroom, something that works well for reading just a little at a time, with not a lot of continuity. I like to listen to a book on CD while commuting too.
I seldom will have two of the same genre - say two mystery novels - going at the same time. More likely it'll be a fiction and a nonfiction - or maybe two dissimilar book club picks.

I didn't think about books on tape so I guess I do sometimes have two going at once. We've been listening to the first two Harry Potter books during our recent driving vacation.
ReplyDeleteI can do one fiction and one nonfiction too, but two fiction at once? No way. My husband, I swear, has like 20 books going right now. He can put a book down for a year and pick it back up and remember everything he read earlier. I guess some of us are just multi-taskers!
ReplyDeleteI almost always have a fiction and nonfiction going at the same time now, but it's been a while since I used to do several fiction at once!
