How many books do you read at once?

[MelMariah]

It's a really weird habit of mine, I usually read one fiction book and one fact book.

[Timea]

I always read more than one book at a time. Right now I have a book I read before going to bed or when I am at home and one I carry around. Both of them are novels. But I also read a couple of fact books. So, it all adds up to 7.

[Uthar902]

I usually focus on only one book

[MatthewAlexander]

I'm reading four books at the moment. It's easy for me to switch between them and know what it going on with all of them. Usually when I read more than one book at a time, though, I find myself more in to one than the others and I'll finish that first, then go to one of the others.

Usually just one. At most two. I have trouble disentangling plot points when reading more than one novel at a time.

Generally. I read one after another but there are times when I read a few chapters of one and the go to another and so on intil one or both books are fully read.

[Inishowen_Cailin]

I generally read one book at a time. However I do have a couple of books set aside that I started and didn't finish....I'm not ready to give up on them yet....I just got sidetracked with more exciting reads.

Well being a student I am constantly having to read multiple books at one time. And I don't just mean textbooks, because many classes require us to read novels or other books that would not be considered textbooks. But usually I only read one book when I am reading just for fun.

I tend to read between 5-7 books at any given time. It can get confusing if the plots or characters are similar. To avoid that I read books by different authors and make sure to note the lead charts and what's going on. Usually I don't bookmark, but reading that many I find bookmarks can come in handy if they are not e-books.

[CrescentMoon]

I like to read multiple books at the same time. I usually read about 5 books simultaneously. This works for me because some novels I read are really long and I'm in the mood to read something else and get lost in a different story. This especially works when I read books with different genres. Sometimes I get really depressed after reading something sad and serious so I take a break and read another book with comedy.

[casper]

At least two. Unless I'm reviewing a book, in which case I concentrate on that one, make loads of notes, and don't start another book until I've finished the review.

[Colette Marie]

I can only read one book at a time because if I read other books, I get really, really distracted and I get mixed up with the story lines

[Paliden]

I usually read two or three at the same time. I've always done it, so I'm not really sure why it's easy for me to keep them separate in my mind.

[prarich]

I prefer to read 1 book at a time only then I feel I do justice to it. I don't like being confused while reading more than 1 book at a time though I know I have appetite for more than 1 at a time. I like to read and finish, reflect on it, then move on to next.

[Headbanginghunny]

I don't like reading more than one at a time. I think it'll get too confusing and I like to focus all of my attention on one story at a time so I get as much out of it as possible and don't feel like I'm cheating on it! Unless I have to read a book for school, then I will read another for fun.
