Holy smokes it's been awhile since I joined in on one of these! It seems like I miss for one week because of school or work or whatever and then suddenly 3 months (eep!) have passed. Seriously- 3 months exactly. That's a whole lot of blog fail happening. At any rate- it's Spring Break, for this one week I'm free of homework and can have some fun!
Here's this weeks question:
"Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?"
I almost always have several going. Usually one that is a bit heftier and will take several sittings to get through and then I fly through lighter fair at a rate of about a book every other day- and usually I read the whole book in one sitting. I also usually have one book in the car that is something that can be picked up and put down and not get finished for months- something like a collection of essays or short stories. I think I had a book called Mountain Men in my car for 6 months before I finished it! Right now my longer read is Sherman Alexie's Face (a collection of peotry) and I have a stack of tbr's that I'm working through as well.
I really like reading more then one at a time- it allows you to get sucked in to a really great book when it comes along, but allows you to always have another book to turn to.
How about you- are you a one at a time sort of reader or do you like to multitask?
Hopping by!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a multi-book sort of reader, but my split between books is different than yours!
I usually have multiple books going at one time, too.

Hey, speed reader! able to read a book in one sitting - I used to do that when I was in gradeschool, but sadly seem to have to lost that ability now :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Book Blogger Hop: 3/18-3/21 post!
Old follower hopping through for the weekend. I wish I could easily multitask, but I tend to get anxious about the book I'm not reading. I also find it easier to remember points if I only have one book going at a time.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel like hopping my way, come venture into The Wolf's Den. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Old follower here. I am enjoying the question this week .. Give me so much insight on my fellow bloggers. My answers are http://bookskidsanimalsandmore.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-friday-follow-friday.html I hope you will stop by.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time reading more than one book at a time. The only time I can do it is when I'm in school. I'll have the book I'm reading for my current English class and then I'll have my personal read as well.
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I usually read multiple books at a time too. Non-fiction can often be slow going, so I'll just read a chapter or so at a time.

Yippeee for Spring Break! I usually read one at a time. But I read fast, so I can glup down a couple of books a week.
