Nollaig Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hah, people telling me I make sense. Thats very rare =P I'm only reading one right now, What Dreams May Come. Its.......not very good thus far =/ It read's like B.F. Skinner's Walden 2, which was essentially a behaviourist making a point about psychology in novel form. He had his main character explaining the theory, and other characters asking every possible question the reader could think up, to make the theory watertight. Thats what WDMC is like. Meh. Maybe it'll get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexiepiper Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I like just focusing on one story at a time, giving it my complete concentration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach.at.the.disco Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have been known to be reading three books at once - especially if I'm reading specific ones for uni, although this normally gets reduced down to one if possible. I like to have the variety between books - especially if I'm finding one in particular a bit difficult to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Mines Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 One. I wasn't aware that reading more than one book at once was so common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Only one fiction book at a time. If I put it down to read another it means I've lost interest and probably won't go back to it again. But I often read non-fiction reference type books at the same time, more for information ....not biographies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm not reading anything right now! Not sure what to read next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have started reading two books at a time now; one fact and one fiction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany725 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm not reading anything right now! Not sure what to read next. Did you finish What Dreams May Come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I did. It sucks. Don't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany725 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Was wondering if you'd made it through it or given up. I won't touch it! I hope your next read is waaaaaay better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Oh i made it through alright. I always complete books. I hope my next read is better too. No idea what it will be, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Only one fiction book at a time. If I put it down to read another it means I've lost interest and probably won't go back to it again. I'm pretty much the same - I used to be able to read three or four at once, but I find I that if I do that now, I usually only finish one and give up on the rest. I've decided that life's too short to read a book you're not enjoying, so I give it a third of the book, and if it hasn't grabbed me by then, I move on to the next one.

Michelle Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I often read 2 or 3 at the same time, and for me it's a 'mood thing' too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Library Nook Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have been doing really well in 2009 but in the past week or so I have found myself getting bored (shock horror) of books really easily and as a result have about five on the go! I have snuggled up in bed for a read and don't fancy any of the ones I am reading so am tempted to pick up another! Does anyone else experience this problem!?

Nollaig Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yeah. I've started about 4 books, and finally found one I'm happy to settle on, but I always have to find a book just right for my mood before I can read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crotalus_p Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I often have a few on the go, often different subjects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Library Nook Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I often have a few on the go, often different subjects Yes mine are a mixture of fiction and non fiction but my problem is I don't want to read any of them now lol! I occasionally have a few books on the go which isn't normally a problem, maybe I am just having a reading funk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I only ever read one at a time, if I don't like it, I put it down and try another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brain is a lot like the body, you cant work it constantly for years and expect it to keep going with out a break , take a week or so off from reading allow your brain to rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Library Nook Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes I do too but these I was enjoying at one point too as well lol so don't want to give up on them so quickly:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andaira Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have a friend who goes through the same situation. He reads 5-7 books at once and then either can't decide which one to keep reading, or doesn't want to keep reading either one, and then adds another one to the pile. I'm with Enthusiast on this one. I have to stick to one book at a time, mostly because I always want to enjoy the characters, settings, plots 100% and give my undivided attention to them before I move on to another book. I even wait a day or two in between books so that the story from the previous book sinks in nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have decided to catch up on some book blogs and realised I hadn't finished the recent newbooks magazine so I am still going to do some bookn related bits and hope a good sleep refreshes me:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'm reading about 3 at the moment. I just pick up whichever one I fancy. I usually get bored by the end of the book so leave the bookmark in and forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
