Do you like reading more than one book at once?

No; I prefer to focus on one book and only start a new one when I finish the old one

I can barely remember what I did ten seconds ago, let alone read two books at once. C'mon guys, let's be real here, I mean--

Wait, what was the question again?
I didn't know what to put here so I put this.

reading multiple books certainly is a cool thing for me. i didn't do that when i was a young reader, but as i grew, my mentation allowed all sort of awesome stuff. now i can read like four books at the go. thats just me by the way. ;)

The problem with me is that when I do happen to read two or more books at once I mix them up. Let's say someone broke his/her leg in one of my books, well I would probably mix that up with another book where someone's mom was very mean and evil. By the way those were just examples, not real books.

I used to read multiple books at a time, but that was when I actually had a lot of time to do that. Now, I have more real-life responsibilities so sometimes I go without reading at all on some days, which sucks, but that's life. Because of that, I read a book a day which is a slower process, particularly if I'm not reading a good book and I can see the next book on my table which probably is much better.

I'm currently reading Tuscan Rose by Belinda Alexandra. It was a gift of "light, brainless reading" from my mother, and it's really awful. 0/10 would not recommend.

I am like this all the time. If you were to check my dresser, you would see more than one book on my table and they would each have a bookmark in different spots because one minute I am in the mood for one, then 5 minutes later I want to read another.

One book. The story deserves devotion.

It varies for me. As much as I like to only read one book at a time, sometimes if I am bored with one book (but, of course, am determined to finish it because I am stubborn and always need to know how things end even if I do not enjoy the journey), but still want to keep reading, so I pick up another one. Sometimes I read them both quite religiously until I finish them both around the same time and then devote myself to only one new book afterwards.

One book only, otherwise I feel cheated and guilty because I'm not devoting my entire focus and attention to that one book. Especially if it's a book I really love.

Yes! I feel like if I read a single book for too long unless it's all in one session I really get bored of it. (so like I hate dragging on a book for 2 weeks but love finishing one in one few hour sitting) Currently reading one book, but I just started it today and I've been in a reading slump unfortunately :( Fortunately, this one book is getting me out of it :)

I prefer to read one book at a time; especially considering the fact that I have ADHD. Sometimes it can be hard for me to decide which book I want to read first. :-?

I absolutely enjoy that! xD

I have different books selected for different times of the day. Currently I'm reading an autobiography, a detective novel, a book of poetry, a psychological thesis, a self improvement book and another one from the DOWK series!!

Phew! :")
