But all these reading challenges, etc. lit a fire under me. Now I'm usually reading at least 3 books at a time. Never thought I could do it, but it's turned out to be easier that I would have guessed.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-5048936742076225752007-08-19T23:02:00.000+08:002007-08-19T23:02:00.000+08:00I only ever read one novel at a time but then ther...I only ever read one novel at a time but then there's non-fiction and poetry and short fiction and essays and.....Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-88435502003191370402007-08-18T12:58:00.000+08:002007-08-18T12:58:00.000+08:00I really like to focus my attention on one book at...I really like to focus my attention on one book at a time. Most of the heavy readers I know read multiple books at once, but it's something I've never really cared to do.

That you ...Hi Melody - I know this habit about you. That you read more than one book. I find that If I read the book one at a time, I going to remember details of the book. Espcially if the main characters happen to be my favorite :)<BR/><BR/>You know, I tend to think that if I don't read all my books in my TBR pile than it would take me forever to read. But than, after a while I think that if my TBR pile went done than my piles will look lonely with less books. So I like the thoughts of having many many books in my TBR pile...I just can't explain it LOL.....<BR/><BR/>Sorry I response to this late. But you know I always read all your posts :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327851309182088290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-37491306373740158292007-08-17T20:31:00.000+08:002007-08-17T20:31:00.000+08:00Seperate genres do help.

Very classy. :)Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346619210375248680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-74731959633083572422007-08-17T10:19:00.000+08:002007-08-17T10:19:00.000+08:00I never thought I'd be a multiple book reader, but...I never thought I'd be a multiple book reader, but I have become one. Right now, I'm reading a book and listening to a completely different audio book on my iPod. It does go faster... oh, and there's always chapters of Twilight, New Moon, and now Eclipse being read and referenced for fun posting on my fan site.
