Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about a random book.
I’ve seen several bloggers mention reading multiple books this week. Do you frequently read more than one book at a time? Do you try to limit this to a certain number? Do you have different books for different purposes/topics?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
When I was younger I always read more than one book at a time, as I always liked to have the choice. Now, however, I usually read one book pretty solidly and then pick a new one.
In asking this question, I thought about it a little more and realised that this isn’t actually the truth. I only have the one book that I’m actively reading – which I pick up and take with me everywhere – but I also have several ongoing books that I’ve been reading for several months.
Collections of poetry, for instance, are something that I like to savour, and read a bit at a time, so I have had a book sitting by my bed for a while now. And I’ve also been reading The World of Books (a lovely gift from my friends when I left the library) section by section because I want it to last a while. So in this regard yes, I do read more than one book at a time.

I used to only read one book at a time, but since I started working in a library, I've had to change that. I now usually read one book from my home library at home, one book from my work library at work and sometimes throw in a review book when I have to read one.
Have a good week!
Pretty much on the same page as you Rebecca if I understand the question correctly.

Like you, I read one main book, but I may have a book of essays or a non-fiction book that I read piece by piece more slowly going at the same time. On another note, can you give me more information on the book you mentioned, The World of Books. I can't find it on amazon or in my library's catalog. Is that the full title? Who is the author? It sounds intriguing.

One than one book at a time? Yes, I am ashamed to say it, but yes...as I explain HERE.

I think Blogger ate my comment! I hate that!
I usually read one book at a time but we always have "bathroom books" to pass the time when we ... well, you know. I usually don't count them as they are silly books -- not REAL BOOKS.

I am new to book polyamory, but it's working out for me!
I pretty much do the same as you, Rebecca. But Alison, I love your phrase! Tempts me to change my tune, but don't hold your breath.

Doesn't really matter what I'm doing, I just can't seem to read more than one book at a time! But you can read my full response to this question here:

I ususally read just one at a time, but when one starts to bore me or I am getting to the end, I'll start another. I don't want to be caught with no book to read once I have finished :)
