Do you read one book at a time, or do you read several books at the same time?

Oh I have to finish a book before I start another - and I don't have much time to read at all any more having 2 boys under 3! I couldn't handle reading more than one book at once!

I usually only read one book at a time.

I'm like you. I usually have 4 or 5 different books on the go at any given time. I am just too impatient to wait to start reading a new one. The downside is that I will get engrossed in one or 2 of them and forget about another which then doesn't get fineshed and slips back to the bottom of my unread pile. I really have to get better organized in that regard.....LOL.

I try my hardest to read one book at a time but it never happens because my interests change so much. Right now I'm probably reading 2 or 3 books and I frequently go back to my certain favorites when I need a refresher on something.

I don't like to read more than one book at a time. I can get confused LOL. And by the way, I love Laurell K. Hamilton. I'm reading her Anita Blake series.

I really wish i could stick to one book at a time but right now I'm reading 4. I can attribute this chiefly to the fact that i have very little time to read. I may not be the best at managing my time but there is simply too much to read and not enough time to read it.

I prefer to read books sequentially but I always find myself trying to finish a few books at a time. I just find a bunch of books I want to read and I try to switch between them when I get bored. It sucks, but I can't help it.

Literary version of a channel hopper. That a good one. Lol It is also impressive. It is amazing you can read that many books at one time. Do you ever feel that you don't get everything out of what you are reading? I can read several books at a time and often do. But they have to be very different genres. I could never read two books that have a plot, character development, etc. I'm pretty sure I would get things confused. I can read a novel, an inspirational book and maybe some type of instructional book at one time.

I read one book at a time. I don't know how you can read so many at once! I would lose track of who went with what! lol I'm not much of a channel hopper, either, except when I am looking for something to watch. Interesting how you can keep up!

I usually read informative book - self-help and technical books. I observed that I usually read more than one book at a time. It is because of the need to read another book while reading the current one. When I get bored, I also read some other books and just read the current book after some time. So far, I've been choosing the good books to read and I am enjoying my books so far.

I never read as many as you have at one time. I like to read sci-fi and those books are very detailed. I'm reading a sci-fi book 'chindi' written by Jack McDevitt. He's a new suthor for me and his book is developing too slowly for me. I might make an exception this time and start another one. The problem is_ it's easy to lose the feeling of a sci-fi book if you mix them up. If I have two books that are semi-interesing, I'll switch back and forth to prevent boredom.

I usually read mine one book at a time, but on ocassion I have started several at the same time too. I think it depends on just what books I am reading at the time. but sometimes I cannot wait til I am done with one, so will start another one going at the same time.I am a readalholic for sure.

For the most part, it is only one book at a time for me. Now there have been times where I had lost interest in one book part the way through, and so I would put that one down and start another. Later I would pick up the first one and finish reading it.

I only like to read one book at a time and get lost in that book. My fiance can read a few books at a time as well . He has one he takes to work , one he reads at home , and one he reads on a sunday. The one he reads on Sunday is more of a holy time .

I usually have only one book going at any given time, but that is because I rarely have time when I feel like reading. Most of my day at work is spent reading things, so when I get home, picking up a book is the last thing I want to do. However, I do like reading on airplanes and while waiting for my plane. I have a couple of trips coming up soon, so I'm planning to do some reading then. :) But it will still only be one book at a time. :)

I know just what you mean. I have books in the bedroom, bathroom and living room. My husband swears we don't have to buy new furniture. All we need to do is stack my books. Every ounce in a while I give them away. Not my favorites. Some of my books are very close friends that have gotten me through some bad times. I don't like the idea of machines for books. I like to feel them in my hands. One of the best things about the Internet is that I can contact my favorite authors. I find most of them are very nice about responding. Of course some get so much mail they really can't reply in person but do have web sites. I to read everything. The only things I will not read is a persons private diary, check book or personal mail. I am not a great fan of romances but Nore Roberts is good.

I think I just read books like you do. In this way, it offers me choices and I can pick the suitable to go out with me. Besides if I keep reading the same book for a long time, I definitely will feel uncomfortable and want to change it. Now I am reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (yes, again!) a French novel Rien de grave(of course in Chinese) and some books about psychology.

hi wayz12. i usually read a couple of books at the same time myself. its either i'm too impatient to finish what i'm currently reading that i start reading a new one or i'm too excited to start reading a new one that i do so without finishing the book that i'm presently reading. i got confused there. but yeah, i do read several books at a time just so i get variety. the most books i've read at the same time were four. i was pleasantly surprised at myself when i finished all four.

I much rather read one book at a time, I'm sometimes so into one book i don't think i will have the time to read another until I'm done.

I will usually read only one book at a time, unless I'm reading one for fun and then I have to read for school. I like to read just one at a time because I'm funny about finishing what I start. I'm afraid if I am reading more than one book at a time then I won't finish some because I am too interested in others.
