How many books do you typically read at once?

[Lauren]

11 books at once

[Lia]

I typically read one book at a time but then sometimes I can't help it I would find myself reading atleast 7 books at once

[Ellen]

Two. One home and one on the bus. How can some of you guys read 12 books at the same time!? Don't you get so confused?

I think it would take forever to get through 12 books too! Like that feeling when you are enjoying a book, but feel like you have been in it forever....maybe that's just me. I'm always looking at what I am going to read next

[Randhika]

Oh golly, when I was younger I remember my mom would always yell at me if I started a book before I finished another and now I am in the middle of reading 5 books

I know I read very different books at once! Like I will have a couple biographies going, a high fantasy, some sci-fi book, a realistic fiction, and a mystery.

[Jennie]

1 at a time.But i can handle until 2 too. 3 or more it's just getting confusing. :p ...

[Colleen]

Between I-3 books at a time

[Lynne]

I try to keep to one, but it's usually at least two.

[Kim]

I like to read one book at a time, but occasionally I will break that rule. If I do, it will be two to three at once. The most I've probably ever done is five at once.

[Lorraine]

Right now I am reading 2 but I can do 3 at a time. I am asked to do a lot of reviews. And that is when I am not writing. I try to space them at different times throughout the day.

Way to go, Autumn~ It keeps your mind sharp!

[hal]

I usually read 4-5 books.

[Shukri]

I honestly think speed reading is a waste of my time as it cheats me out of those little details that make reading a great distraction from life by pulling you away from reality and submersing you into another world.....I occasionally speed read a book if I am sick of it but it's not bad enough to make me just set it down and never ever finish it.

I do, but not for all books I read. It depends with the writing style. Even if the book has a bad plot, but the writing is good then I won't speed read.

I speed read most books that I've been anticipating. It's because I'm so anxious and excited. But I always re-read them anyway.

I just read Captive by Aimee Carter, and it took me 3hrs to finish the book.

[Jazzy]

I like reading a lot of books at one time but I've been waiting for my next shipment to come in so I'm trying to savor my last few for survival purposes.

My record is 5. I don't really like doing it either. Right now I have 3 books I'm reading.

[Stephy]

Probably 3 at a time, but nowadays, I like to finish a book and then move on to another one.

Same.

[Selina]

Nope, one at a time for me! I can get confused and I don't like the feeling of not being completely IN the story, if that makes sense. I feel like if I'm juggling more than one book at a time, it just makes me forget important details.

I used to read two books at a time, but stopped because I hardly have the time (or energy) for one book anymore!

[Fatima]

three at a time. Actually it depends on my mood. If am happy then I would read three otherwise just one.

[Shania]

I try to read one or two at a time, but usually I end up at three or four, sometimes even five.

[Maryam]

Now i'm reading 3!

[Puja]

I preferably read only one book at a go, but I have done with 3
