Reading more than one book at a time

Yeah - my sister. I remember reading an article some time ago that describes different kinds of readers and seems like you're under the "Polygamist reader" category. I'm somewhere between "Introvert" and "Altruist" reader, hehe.

I try to only read one book at a time, but sometimes I read 2-3 at once. It's not really a problem... it's just that I sometimes get confused.

I haven't been reading as much books or ebooks as I used to. I try to read one book at a time when I can but since I don't like reading that much anymore I tend to jump from one book to the next and then back again so I guess we're kind of in the same boat.

I don't find it weird. I do the same thing. When I was a child my parents told me that it was a bad habit. They said that I should finish one book before I read the next, but I didn't listen 30 years later I still read many books at the same time, and I always have a pile of books next to my bed instead of one book.

I'm a sucker for reading more than one book at a time. Some days, I can go between one to three books, alternating between them. I have so many too, that are still unfinished. Case in point Maire by Linda Windsor and The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice. I also recently restarted reading two other books from so long ago. Some days, I just can't help myself. I don't read as much as I use to, as in spending all day reading, but I tend to read a chapter here and there out of the books I feel enticed to put myself into, and by the time I stop reading, I find that somehow I left a part of myself in that story. Sounds weird, doesn't it?

I often have multiple books going. I have light paperback books, mostly novels to travel with on buses, etc. I read heavier more valuable hardbacks at home. I read library books and review copies for publishers - both have deadlines so often take over from other readings. I also break for short stories, poems and comics

I would only read more than one book at a time if one were say, non-fiction and the other fiction. Or perhaps two totally different genres. Otherwise I think I would get the stories confused. I also think of it as like writing a book. If I am working on one book I will not start on another for fear that I will not go back and finish the other. Finding time to read one book is hard enough these days.

I stick to one book at a time but that is mostly because I really get into books and have trouble putting a book down once I start it. If I have no issues putting it down then chances are I will not pick it up again. Books are an excape for me and I guess I like to excape to only one place at a time.

I will do that too. Usually it's maybe only two or three books at a time. At least that's how many I may read at a time. Although lately it's only been one at a time.

I don't know how you do it. There are times when I have to make a list of who is who in just one book! Honestly! How you keep track in four or five... boggles my mind!

I have been an avid reader since my adolescence,but I read one book at a time.If you ask me to reader another book along with the one I am reading,I would understand and enjoy neither.When I read a book,I am fully concentrated on it.

I do not read books that often I am rather interested in movies For me movies are more fun But when I read a book , I only read one at a time But your point is quite valid that some books get dull at some point of time

I do that! I'm a student so people keep asking me how I can manage reading such a lot of books at the same time. I just give them a sly smile. But, this is kind of the way I've been brought up. My parents always enourage me to read more and more. We're members of two libraries. One is the Rotary library from where we get 3 books- one for my brother, and two for me, mom and dad. From the other, I can issue one book for myself, so ending up with more than one book to read is inevitable! :) You're not alone.

I this technological arena the book reading habit is somehow lost but I am glad that you are fond of this habit.
