I'm currently reading about 5 books at the moment.

I just read whatever interests me and stop when I lose interest. There's a good argument to be made that I read both one hundred books at a time and that I'm not reading any books.

>> No.15976897

Not usually. Only exception is when I read something to help me excel in a skill or game (like a book on chess/poker strategies). Those will be with my usual novels
Otherwise I like to get through one book at a time

Sometimes if I’m going through a relatively dry academic text I’ll switch back and forth between it and a novel.

>> No.15978374

assuming youre not joking, how the fuck do you retain anything
i know im a brainlet but i could never read more than 1 book at a time

>> No.15979026

I generally read two and a short story collection. More than that and it becomes too hard to read some from each every day.

>> No.15979045

>>15976831
two books at once is optimal
one non-fiction and one fiction

>assuming youre not joking, how the fuck do you retain anything
I'm not joking but I also only read as much as I'm comfortable with in a day, usually a single chapter of each given work but sometimes I may drop that to a single page of particularly terse works.
