How many books are you reading?

[HadessahRose]

GUILTY! LOL, yes, I read 2 or 3 at a time. I am on 2 at the moment...a fiction one...Blink by Ted Dekker and a 'teaching' book...The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence..sometimes I throw a Love Inspired (christian romance) in the mix too...

[Silver-winged Flyer]

About 5, could be more. A couple I haven't picked up in a little while but I am in the middle of them and do intend to finish them soon. Plus I always read a textbook too.

 

[LostUntilSaved]

Right now, I'm just reading one called, "90 minutes in Heaven"

 

[Diane_Windsor]

Generally I only read one book at a time. I have ADD though and sometimes I lose interest and start on another book before ending the first though.

 

[IzzyPop]

I usually read more than one at a time. I almost always have a non-fiction book on poker going(Ace on the River by Barry Greenstein right now), a second non-fiction science book that I plug through (Demske's Intelligent Design. I know it is not science, but you can learn stuff by seeing what not to do as well.), and a few fiction works as well(Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth - I may not be artistic enough or something, I'm not really liking it, The Complete Hammer's Slammers Volume One by David Drake, and The Born Queen by Greg Keyes. ) Which one I pick up at any given time depends on my mood or what book is in the room I am in at the time.

I have a book in every room of the house where I spend time, so I'm reading about 4 at a time right now. I also keep one in my bag, car, or on my iPod so I have something to read while I'm out.

 

[keith99]

Usually one book at a time. Last time I recall reading two at once was Bonhoeffer by Begthe and The Ring trilogy by Tolkien, not a good combination.

 

[MamaChris]

I have about 4 I read during the week......

 

[LYP]

Funny this question is asked. My husband just said to me "why don't you finish one book before you start another one" lol. I'm currently reading 3.

If I'm reading fiction I have to stick to just one book. But when I read nonfiction I can read a few at a time. It really depends on what I'm doing, or what's going on in my life. Sometimes I'll start reading a second (or third) book if I think it will help me with my job or help a friend with a problem.

But I certainly prefer to stick to one book at a time. That way I feel like I'm accomplishing something.

too many to count

 

[SparkyMaddie]

The Sacrifice-Diane Matcheck
Free Fall(reading this) -J.Sweeney
Missing Abby-lee Wetherly

 

[BjorkIsCool]

Usually two at a time.

 

[icedtea]

I cannot go a day without reading, I always have at least 2 library books at a time.
Right now, I think I have 13 out!

 

[youthwalk]

I was reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I became a little disinterested and stopped. I'm now reading Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie. I read really fast though so I have two more Christie lined up: Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Murder on the Orient Express.

 

[SouthernChristian]

I read at max 2 at a time. 1 fiction, one non-fiction.

 

[Malachi425]

I'm always reading at least one....but usually its more like 3 or 4!

 

[icedtea]

For good fiction, I've just started reading the (at least 20) stories by Kinky Friedman. Didn't think I'd like them, but they were well written and a good mystery!
If one likes childrens books of high quality, I recommend any by Eleanor Estes.
