When I'm reading (sometimes I do go through spells where I just don't want to read) but when I'm reading, I feel a bit like how I imagine a chain smoker must feel. If I don't start another book right away or pick up one of the many other books I'm usually already reading, I get this ansty feeling, a little bit of a downer, and I don't know what to do with myself. I have to be in the middle of something all the time.
And then I'll just stop cold turkey for a while and be okay. I'm a bit of a binge reader, to be honest. I binge until I'm absolutely sick of reading and can't concentrate on another sentence, much less a book, and then I stop for a while.
But yeah, multiple books at a time, and I do start another right away. Doesn't matter if it's fiction or nonfiction.
This doesn't stop me from thinking about the books I've finished though. I just do it when I can't be reading.
