Do you typically read more than 1 book at a time?

[PICK3]

if so ... how many?

 

[KillahBee]

jesus, I'm a mess in this arena. I consistently have stacks upon stacks of books, white papers and magazines. right now I have 3 books started and 2 more waiting in the wings. probably about 12-15 white papers, too.

Typically, if I pick up a book I can't think about anything else until it's finished.

But I've been trying to get through "Guns, Germs, and Steel" and it's so tedious I'm only 200 pages in and have read several other books in the meantime.

I usually have a couple on the go at once.
Usually one fiction, one non.

if by "book" you mean ones with lots of pictures, and if by "read" you mean, look at the pictures?? then, yes! ABSolutely!!

Wtf

I don't read much fiction or non-fiction story books, so yeah, I never just read one at a time. You need one book to reference another to reference another to define something in another to relate to the subject in another...

I usually have one fiction going and one nonfiction at a time. Then I always have some kind of writer's mag that I am poking thru.

Yes. It depends though on how many. Currently I have six on the go, but three are all dog training books because I just got a dog.
I usually have one that I will read non-stop straight through to the end, and then one for after that.

My sister recommended that book to me and I found it boring too.

TITCR....a cautionary tale to the children...be careful when you choose a field that requires constant learning; You will probably get what you wished for...

I generally be looking at Musular Development, sometimes I will be doing a coloring page, and looking at the pics in MD at the same time.

Not sure a field exists that doesn't require constant learning (assuming the person has some sort of drive to be better than bad)

Currently have 2 going - plus one audio book.

I find it interesting but his writing style is horrible. He takes 2 pages to make a point that could be made in 2 sentences.

The Discovery Channel did a documentary on "Guns, Germs, and Steel" that was fantastic because it was paced properly.

Damn it another damn cawck refrence throwed at me.

My favorite as of recent: Malcolm Gladwell, the Outliers. Actually I listed to that driving to and from Indianapolis, and I've also read The Tipping Point (same author) and found that to be fascinating. Also I'm almost finished with Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely, and that is also consuming.

I read a book about a tiny turtle last night. Well actually my daughter read it to me, but it was bad ass. The lil turpine finds it's way back to the pond in the end. I highly recommend it.

I'm just calling you out for smoking more sausage than Hickory Farms. Don't shoot the messenger.

Wishful thinking, huh?

I read one at a time. If I am in my 'zone' I can read a 500+ page book in under an hour.

I literally have 100's of books I have purchased over the years that I haven't touched. I am too damn busy.

I'm terrible to accumulate books that I can't get to. I've got a killer book on gear design that I swear I'm going to read soon.

Definitely dry and wordy.
