My quick question is this:
Should I read more than one book at a time?
I know a lot of bloggers read multiple books at once but I have never really tried. I always worried that I wouldn't be able to appreciate them as much if I didn't devote my time to just one. I would love to know what everyone else thinks about my dilemma especially if you are one of those people who read multiple books at once. =]

I think it all depends on what you prefer. I used to only read one book at a time because like you mentioned above, I was worried that I wouldn't appreciate them as much if I spread my attention over multiple books at a time instead of just the one.
ReplyDeleteI find though,(after having given it a shot) that I can read multiple books at a time and still manage to enjoy them just as much. Honestly, I'm just impatient and don't like waiting for one to end before I can commence the the others haha.
So yeah, I think it all depends on what you're comfortable with.
=D
I read one book at a time just because that's how I enjoy reading. I think you should just do whatever comes naturally to you.
ReplyDeleteI can't read more than one book at a time. For me it takes away from what I'm reading. So I think you should just do whatever you are comfortable with. I wish I could read multiple books, then I would always have a review ready, but I'd rather concentrate on one thing and give it my complete attention.
ReplyDeleteI am like Carrie: I CAN'T read one book at a time. I get the plots confused and it's not as personal, I guess. It just takes the joy away from reading, for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm often reading two and three books at one time, but they are usually of different genres...

I read multiple books at a time, but that's because I need a backup if the one I'm reading annoys me or I get bored or I'm just not in the mood for that type of story. I also have at least one audiobook going as well, so I've got lots of books being read/listened to at a time. I don't have a hard time picking up where I left off in each book and I still enjoy them, but I've been reading multiple books all my life, so I'm used to it!
ReplyDeleteI totally think it's up to what you prefer. Sometimes I'm monogamous, and sometimes I'm not - it just depends on my mood.
ReplyDeleteI am always reading about five books at a time (three books, one on my ipod and one in the car). I like it because it just means I always have something going I'm interested in. It's not difficult for me to switch back and forth.
