How many books can you read at one time?

Post by Neha Panikar »

I usually can do two at a time in physical or e-book form, and one on Audible when I'm driving and/or doing menial tasks. How's it for you?

I’m good with two ongoing books at the same time. But most of the time, I prefer to finish one book first before jumping onto another one, as I want to savor the story without any interruption to my imagination. It depends on the genre to sometimes.

Oh... Huh. If web novels count, I'm currently following 31 books most of which release either daily or weekly.

I think about 2-3 books. I sometimes do it to reduce boredom while reading some books.
