i mean in the moment you already read a book do you plan what book will be the next ad then the next one?or you simply read what you get in your hand without any plan?or maybe you don't read at all

I don't really plan what I'm going to read next. I have a huge stack of books waiting to be read, so I just grab whatever tickles my fancy at the moment. Maybe I'm in the mood for non-fiction, maybe I just want mind candy. I am usually reading two or more books at one time, though. The only time I plan what I'm going to read is if I've been waiting for a book to come out. Such as the last Harry Potter book. I put everything else I had been reading on hold to finish that one.

for the most part, my reading list is planned out. i have a rather long list of books that are next to read or purchase, mostly due to the books being part of a series. every great once in a while i will be shopping and spot an interesting book. though i never really go to an actual book store cause i would find FAR too many that i must have lol!

As many of you already know, I have over 200 books sitting at home waiting to be read. Most of them are hand-offs from my parents. When I finish reading a book I may feel like reading another by the same author, or I may feel like reading something completely different. In the case of the book I am reading right now, it has been staring me in the face for weeks begging me to read it. I had to wait until I finished the book I was reading AND got new glasses. The print is not very large and I was in desperate need of a new perscription so that was one of the reasons I waited. I have a lot of books that are staring me in the face waiting to be read, including books I have purchased recently at great deal prices. But another priority I must think of is books that are loaned to me. A friend in my writing group loaned me a book on writing. I have yet to read it and I have had it in my possession for several months. It is time to read it and get it back to her, but at the moment I am in the mood to read novels, stories, not general interest since I just read two of those in a row. Alas, I may find myself reading two books at once again - the book on writing and another novel.

I read many books and I get my "supply" largely from the libraries. This means, I don't exactly get to choose. My genre is fantasy and science fiction so I will just zoom in onto this section when I visit the library. I just scan the shelves and borrow what I think I will enjoy reading. Usually this is not a problem since we have fantastic libraries yes. Though I have read so many books, there are still many I have not read.

I sometimes plan ahead like when I'm reading a series but most often just pick whatever I'm in the mood for that day. I am a very fast reader so I go through more books than most people I know. If I'm doing research for whatever reason, then I might plan ahead more, but most of my reading is just because I enjoy it.

I rarely plan ahead what I am gouing to read, unless someone gives me a novel for a present. Usually I just go to the library, have a good look around, & borrow four novels.

I read quite a lot, but what I read depends on what my interests are at that time or if I happen to pick up a book in a book store and get a feeling that I would really like to read it. :-)
