Some people read one book at a time. I always keep at least 3 going. How about you, and why do you do it that way?

It depends, some books take a long time to read for me (the ones I don't like that much, but don't dislike enough to stop reading), in which case I usually read a few in between. Other books I finish in a matter of hours/days and don't read anything else while doing so.

So two books at a time is the maximum for me - at least if we're talking fiction. With non-fiction there's really no upper limit.

I can only enjoy 1 fictional book at a time (otherwise I mix up characters). But while I'm reading my one fictional book, I'll be reading a history book, a biography book, a poli-sci book like Shattered or Russian Roulette, and a computer programming book all at the same time. I also cannot read the same author of fiction more than twice in a row...it depresses me for some reason.

Basically I go one at a time, (not always) . If it's a good book all it takes is one or two days to read it. If it's good but slow moving I may take a month or more to read it I fill in the gap by reading one day books and tons of short stories.

I do that, but with writing, not reading. I like multi-tasking.

Only one novel at a time. However, I may also be reading magazines or reference books at the same time.
