How many books are you reading?

[Silver-winged Flyer]

Do you like to read more then one book at a time?
I'm trying to read four books at the same time, I don't know if its such a good idea but we'll see how it goes.

I'm actually working on two right now. I sometimes take it up to four, but it all depends upon what mood I'm in and what I'm reading.

Usually, if I can be reading one fic, one non-fic, and listening to one on CD, it's ideal for me.

During the semester, one finds me reading a lot of textbooks at once, naturally. Left to my own devices I'm generally reading three books- one fiction, for when I'm going to bed at night, one nonfiction for the daytime, and either the Bible or some other holy text for devotions. I've been known to do more than this, if something catches my interest while I'm already reading a few. I can handle mutliple non-fiction books pretty well, but if I try to read more than one fictional work at a time I get the plotlines confused.

 

[Beautiful Fireball]

I usually have more then one book that I am working on. I am currently working on Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan, and Blue Like Jazz. This is not including my school reading.

I used to read multiple books at once... but I find my attention span has decreased in my old age and my reading time has increased... I now only sit down with my book for maybe half an hour or an hour per day, so it's best if I stick with one at a time.

Although I might have something very light and silly, like a humor book, to mix in with whatever else I'm reading if I'm not in the mood to think overmuch...

 

[Silver-winged Flyer]

If I'm reading more then one fiction book at a time, the plots have to be completely different and it helps if the genres are different so its not too easy to get confused.
Now I'm reading one christian novel, one fantasy adventure, one classic and a nonfiction book so they're all different.

Right now, because most of my books are in storage I am only reading 5 at one time. There have been times that number has been as high as a dozen or more.

 

[Silver-winged Flyer]

I've added two onto my list so its a total of six.

 

[SparkyMaddie]

2- one for school about meth addiction and then this book called THIS IS WHAT I DID BY ANN ELLIS.

Yeah, I know. I didn't think my mind would go so fast, either. But it has.

Sometimes I miss it. If you see my intellectual faculties, will you tell them I said "Come home-- all is forgiven?"

 

[pennsyginny]

I often have a couple going at once. Not always. Depends on what else is going on in my life but I'm usually reading something

 

[toyjarta]

Right now I'm reading two at a time...but I have read 4 o 5 at the same time...I don't reccomend it.

 

[redheadskiangel]

Right now I'm only reading one... well getting ready to start one, the second one in a series. But I have a HUGE list of books to read this summer. It's so exciting

 

[fullthrottle]

usually i only read one at a time because otherwise it takes forever to finish or i get the plots all mixed up or something, but if its for school then i usually read a few at a time

 

[Reborn_in_Christ2003]

Currently I'm reading three. Sometimes during school I will get up to 5-6 books at a time. And the profs wonder why I struggle.

 

[24fanatics]

I am usually reading at least 2. Normally one fiction and one non-fiction.

 

[humblet]

I am always reading the Bible...mainly the Bible, lol. But I have two other books that I have been reading for the last couple of years...yup, *L* I'll take them with me to appointments and things and try to pick up where I left off...one I started over again the last time, lol. But I'm going to make another list of things that I want to do, and finish reading those books is going on it! Then I'll have to finish, just so that I can cross them off the list!

 

[searchingsoul]
