I've gone ahead and added you to mine as well. :-)<BR/><BR/>Melody - You are too sweet! Thank you so much!<BR/><BR/>I think I'm in the minority with my preference for reading one book at a time. :-)<BR/><BR/>Jenclair - I think that is what would happen to me if I tried to read more than one book at a time--I'd end up sticking with the one that was more interesting. <BR/><BR/>Tanabata - Yes, we are very similar in this regard. :-) It's good to see I'm not completely alone. <BR/><BR/>Rhinoa - In your situation, I can see why you'd have more than one book going. I probably would too. :-)<BR/><BR/>Daphne - Exactly! I get so involved with the book I'm reading that I don't want to be distracted by another book I may be in the middle of. <BR/><BR/>Sharm - What an honor! Thank you so much for considering me. <BR/><BR/>Nymeth - I'm glad there are more out there like me. :-)<BR/><BR/>Nan - Now, I can see myself doing that--reading one book in print and then listening to another book on audio. Maybe if I ever get that iPod, I'll find out for sure. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Historia - I guess my reading moods don't shift enough to make that necessary--to start several books before finding the "right" one. I can usually gauge my mood before starting a book and then that mood stays with me until the end. Most of the time. There are always exceptions. <BR/><BR/>Jen - Thank you for stopping by! It's been a long time since I've stayed up reading all night, although I often do read into the wee hours of the morning. Biology steps in despite my efforts to stay up and I fall asleep with book in hand . . . <BR/><BR/>Kristy - I'm not sure I could do more than two at the most. I think that would take away from my enjoyment of reading to some extent, to be honest.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-49777715878833078122007-08-18T00:04:00.000-07:002007-08-18T00:04:00.000-07:00When I read more than one book, I like to mix up t...When I read more than one book, I like to mix up the genre too.

I do read a print book and listen to an audio book at the same time, but the only way I like to read two print books simultaneously is if one is a gardening book.

At the moment I am reading a massive book of short stories (one a day) and Don Quixote which is massive as well.

Reading too many books confuse me, and moreover it doesn't help if I've a short memory, hehehe...
