What's the best way to absorb a book completely? Does it even matter if you read one at a time or several at the same time?

I'm currently reading 7 different books, sometimes I feel bad about it, but I can't focus on only one idk

I usually try to avoid doing so, but here I am, reading works of Brian o’ Nolan and Flann O’Brien simultaneously

I start books and leave them around the house in various, unfinished states. Whenever I grow bored of one, I turn to another, unless I'm so interested in one I fixate on it until I finish.

A lot, specially considering that I read on pdf.

currently 1 fiction, 1 nonfiction, 1 hard nonfiction and then whenever I feel like it poetry or shorter fiction that can be read completely in one sitting.
