Reading multiple books at the same time

kitabikida

Mostly single at a time. But I always have short stories/anthologies on my mobile for quick read during boring functions/meetings/get-togethers.

Earlier I used to read one book at a time. Found it difficult when I got stuck with some book. After reading Stephen Guise's "Mini Habits - Smaller habits Bigger results", cultivated the habit of reading at least three books simultaneously.

This is exactly the reason why I switched to reading multiple books too. I would get stuck with a book, and would have a "readers block" of sort.

I read multiple books when I'm unhappy with the current book I'm reading but hesitating to give up on it midway (maybe memories of days when buying books was expensive?). I promise I'll come back to it, but sometimes don't.

reading multiple books keeps off the monotony for me. But if a book is too engaging, i finish that book at one go

I'm a slow reader so I just can read one book at a time...

I belong to the 1st group...1 book at a time...

I get into a character in the story i read...I feel it is good for me to read just 1 at a time...that way i can do full justice to my imagination too ;)

Been there done that.
When its a combination of non-fiction and fiction, then it is okay to follow the crux of the books. But reading same genre books at a time, is a tough job. Maybe short stories collections can be read this way, not novels etc.

Well, whatever floats my boat, I guess.
I switch between both modes, and it depends on the quality and appeal of the book/s for me.
though, to be honest, multiple mode is nothing but a way to withhold the anchor of my attention. This usually afflicts me when I have to review and analyze books for formal, professional commitments and projects.
