For me it depends on the book. Most of the time I'll just start right into another book but sometimes I get pretty wrapped up in a book and when I'm done I don't want to let go of it right away.
I read one book at a time although sometimes I'll read a short story or two between books if I'm not sure what to read next. And I don't start a book unless I'm pretty sure I'm going to finish it. Now and then I'll get that wrong and I don't hesitate to stop if I get a bad one. But if it's just not what I was in the mood for I'll know that early on and will put it off till I am in the mood. Once I'm into the book I'll finish it unless it's pretty bad and I don't get many that are that bad.
Every now and then I just can't stay with any book so I'll just back away and give myself a break. Fortunately that only happens once or twice a year, usually when I've been reading a lot.
