Just For Thought (7)

Do you read multiple books at one time?

We talked about getting books the last few weeks, so I thought we could chat on talking about them. :)

I use to have a hard time with reading multiple books at one time.  Actually I was afraid to do it as well.  In that I would forget what's happening when I come back to it.  But over the last year I seem to have mastered this very well.

The last year I've started reading books in sections and chatting about that section with others.  So, the chatting part has helped to keep the book fresh in my mind and ready to go with the next section.

But, with the exception on discussion reads I don't read more than one book at a time.  I like to devour the one book I'm working on.  Usually I get lost in the world, characters, and the plot to want to put it down and pick up another.  I WANT to finish the book I'm tangled up in before moving on to the next.  If it wasn't for discussion books I don't think I would read more than one at a time.

I know there are many people out there who might leave a book at work to read on lunch or break, one to read in the evening, and one on the nightstand to wind down with at bed time.  But, I'm a one book kind of gal.  I like to get through the whole thing at once.  Although, it does take me about a week to read one book with work and family stuff.  Maybe if I read faster I could leave one at work, on the nightstand, and one in the living room.

So what about you?  Do you read more than one book at a time?
