I am also on two books at the moment:Lonesome Dove which I am listening too with about 2.5 hours left on it (a 36 hour book)
and The Wright Brothers by David McCullough. I am just beginning section 2.
I usually have at least five 'on the go'.Currently, I'm reading:
'The Resurrection Casket' by Justin Richards [SF]
'Shadow Study' by Maria V Snyder [Fantasy]
'All About King Arthur' by Geoffrey Ashe [NF]
'Survival Squad: Night Riders' by Jonathan Rock [JNR]
and listening to 'An Astronaught's Guide to Life on Earth' by Chris Hadfield [Autobiography]
Have to have something everywhere I'm at: bedside, handbag etc.
Not counting school books, I'm reading four right now."Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception" by Eoin Colfer
"Westward the Dream" (Ribbons West #1) by Judith Pella, Tracie Peterson
"Sinners in the Hands of a Good God" by David Clotfelter
And I'm reading to my little sister, "The American Victory" by JoAnn A. Grote
I'm actually not in the middle of any books right now. *cringe* But there are two at the library that I'm going to pick up this week, so....

The Wright Brothers was interesting and made me proud to be from Ohio.
I am back down to one. Just finished two. I have two more on the way from Amazon so I will be back up to three. Bought used, non-prime books so the delay will give me time to make some progress on my current book:

I never have just one. I have two books going on my phone (audio and library) and about five hard copies in my purse/car/room/bathroom.
I am down to one now. I finished Lonesome Dove early this morning so for the moment it is The Wright Brothers by David McCullough.Rick, I am from Cleveland, OH but now live in Old Hickory, TN. Don't remember much about OH since I was six years old when we moved to Knoxville, TN back in 1968. Still root for the Buckeyes football, though.
I'm currently reading:The Light and the Glory by: Peter Marshall and David Manuel
Mansfield Park by: Jane Austen
and I'm reading "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott to my little sister.
I've read 22 books so far this year. I'm in the middle of Amber Alert by Linda Kodante and Crushed: A Physician Analyzes the Agony of Jesus J. Shan Young
Five. Six if you count my audiobook. I'm always in the middle of a non-fiction, a collection, an e-book, and a "heavy" book, so I rarely go down to fewer than four.
I was reading two, but one was shorter so I devoured it over the weekend and then got back to my other one. It's a little hard for me to juggle reading two books and keeping up with two stories.
Three that I'm actively reading:The Shepherd's Crown by Terry Prattchet
The Vagrant by Peter Newman
A History of Italy (can't remember the author off-hand)
I'm also technically reading The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks, since I started it and haven't finished it yet. But that was some time ago, and I'll probably start again when I get round to it.
And I am sort of reading Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch, in the sense that I just finished it and I keep going back to re-read bits I especially liked or was especially confused by.

I'm reading three right now. A biography on Charles Finney, a biography on the three Mrs. Judsons, and an old book called Thankful Rest. Normally I only have one or two going but for some reason it's three right now.

I agree, Caroline, The Shepherd's Crown wasn't as good as the other Tiffany Aching books - but weren't the first two of those awesome!!?! :D
Currently two:Armada, Ernest Cline
The Belial Ring, R.D. Brady
Tomorrow at work I'll start my next audiobook - either Stone of Tears, Terry Goodkind or How Great Science Fiction Works, Gary K. Wolfe - both are for other GR challenges.
