How many books do you read at one time?
I tend to read several books at one time. I was wondering if others do the same and to what extant?

I do.
It varies as to what I have and my mood. Also, the complexity of the material.. sometimes I will start up then take a break.. start up again - while reading other books as well. |

I usually have between 5 and 10 books in progress at any given time. I also listen to a lot of podcasts and recorded magazines from NLS. I like being able to choose what I feel like reading at a given moment depending on how much time I have, what my mood is, and how much energy I have.

I usually do read two to three books at any one time. Normally, I do read one more complex book and two lighter ones, swapping whenever the mood hits me.

I tend to have four or five on the go at any one time. Usually a couple of fiction and the rest non-fiction of some sort. Right now, I only have three though! But I'm about to start Refuge, so that will put it up to four

One at time for me; I find it too distracting to have more than one on the go.

At least 4 or 5 at the same time since I read in different languages, both fiction and non-fiction.

I've read about 15 books since Christmas. I don't know how people can stand stopping a book and starting another one. Of course it's just personal preference, but I'd hope the books people are reading are enthralling to them... |

It depends on the book. Some books you do not want to stop reading and some are suitable for reading half an hour at lunch each day.

I usually only read one at a time. Occasionally I'll read more though (but they will be completely different genres).
