I thought this week's Booking Through Thursday question was interesting...
Here’s the question:
Some people read one book at a time. Some people have a number of them on the go at any given time, perhaps a reading in bed book, a breakfast table book, a bathroom book, and so on, which leads me to…
- Are you currently reading more than one book?
- If so, how many books are you currently reading?
- Is this normal for you?
- Where do you keep your current reads?
As I've mentioned before, I tend to read my non-fiction in "stacks". Here are my answers:
1. Yes.
2. One fiction, and a whole stack of non-fiction.
3. Yes. I always seem to have a stack of non-fiction I'm working my way through, and at least one fiction book. The fiction book is almost always bedtime reading. Usually I breeze through them in a few days at most; the odd thing about my current reading is that I have been trying to finish my fiction book (The Edge of Recall, by Kristen Heitzman) for *weeks*. It's slow going when you keep falling asleep after a page and a half!
4. Current fiction book is on my nightstand. Current non-fiction is *supposed* to be on a shelf on my desk. However, my desk is presently a sea of chaos, and my "stack" at this point has outgrown my desk. ;-) Oh...and I almost always have a book or two in my bag...in the words of one of my favorite "Pieces of Flair" on Facebook, "Always carry a book...you never know when you will need it." There is nothing worse than being stuck in a drive-thru, or waiting for someone in the van, and having nothing to read! :)
Here's my current non-fiction "stack":
Do you read more than one book at a time? What are you reading right now? I'd love to hear...leave me a comment! To see more, visit the Booking Through Thursday site.
