When I was younger and had less pocket money, I usually only had one new book at a time. I sat down, I read it, I got another one. Now I have literally 1,000+ new books to read and in a variety of topics and subjects. I pick one up, I read awhile, I put it down (because Real Life calls), and when I read again it may be something entirely different. I may come back to Book 1 or I may never pick it up again. It's almost like the fact that I have a veritable "buffet" of books has made me more casual. "Not finishing" doesn't really feel like a waste anymore, because I got the book cheap/freely. Switching around is more a matter of sampling different tastes and realizing that the other dish isn't going anywhere. At least that's my take on it. CatLady, I almost always put down books simply because Real Life intervenes. It's in the picking up a book that I may choose to pick up something other than what I was reading earlier. If that makes sense. ![]() |

I have only one device, but I have four different books that I'm currently reading.

Dunno really, maybe because I can? I keep one reader in my handbag, one by the bed and usually read pbooks or listen to audio books in the lounge. BTW once upon a time I always finished a book if I started it, but now if it bores me I don't bother. |

I do read several books at the same time sometimes. It all depends on the mood. However, I noticed that I use the Kindle exclusively for the reading, while Xoom for browsing. The others are gathering dust.

For me, I never actually read more than two at a time - one on my Nook, and one paperback. Yup, I still have a few pbacks that I have yet to finish. Once I'm done, though, I'll probably revert to my original "one at a time" state. |

I have two devices at home, but generally only one book going on one device or the other at any given time. I also have a different book going on my iPhone when I'm away from the house and waiting (restaurant, doctor's office, etc.). In addition, I usually listen to an audiobook while I'm driving.
