Um Don,
One fish +two fish+ red fish+ blue fish = 5 fish.
Or more correctly a bunch of purple baby fish.
Yes, I voted.

drjd · 04-16-2016, 11:52 AM

Yeah, as usual, one book - one vote.

Yes, I voted.

Oh, no! I'm mathematically challenged!

WAIT!

I just now realized that I COULD HAVE BEEN COUNTING: one, two, and then an understood third, and finally an understood fourth! ---- Are you buying that?!

What you said

Edit: Cinis added the second fish in the 'two fish' part to the count, thereby making 5 fishies total.

Ok I will buy that.

Oh and it has been way too many years to remember how many fish were actually in that book.

I would've preferred one fish, tuna fish, red fish, blue fish

Well, I can count a fish, but I sure can't tunafish!

By the way, that's the exact image I used when looking for a count of 4.

I tend to start on several books at once, then focus on one and shunt the rest off to the back burner. It's survival of the fittest for my attention

Sometimes I do alternate between two books, one fiction and one non fiction, or one light fiction and one serious. But if I'm reading more than two at the same time, it probably means I'm not really into any of them.

cvkemp · 04-17-2016, 08:53 PM

Depends 2 to 5 at a time. Sometimes more if I am doing research on something very important.

PurpleStar · 04-17-2016, 10:23 PM

Normally I read one at a time but lately it's been 2. One ebook and one library paperback at the moment. Too bad I can't seem to read paper books for long or my hand cramps up. Ugh. Guess that's why I'm reading the ebook too.

Tarana · 04-17-2016, 11:34 PM

Typically 4.

1. Travel kindle (easy plots due to interruptions)
2. Editing kindle (reading and editing book I scanned)
3. Whispersync book
4. Any other book - usually long one

Audiobooks (typically 2)
1. Travel ipod
2. Home ipod.

I could get by with 1 ereader and one Ipod, but I don't have to.

I'm better than I used to be - it used to be 8 books and 3 audiobooks.

QFT!

Nothing more to add, actually... I was trying to make a big story, but this simply says it all
