I don’t like to. I can’t remember the last time I did. Having said that, I am now. Hahaha. I just discovered David Sedaris ( I know, I am behind the times) and I am reading Me Talk Pretty One Day. I am also reading a novel based loosely on Lord Byron’s life, and Ancient Civilization and U.S. History curriculum at the moment.

I sometimes read 3 books at once. Obviously, at different times! Sometimes in different manners too, like reading one book and listening to another’s audiobook.

I’m reading several now. I’ve always had a few on the go. It makes the good ones last longer! ? I’m reading “The Outsider” by Stephen King now. It’s way too big to lug around on my way to and from work, so I keep it to read at home, and I carry a small paperback to read on the train and at lunch.

No, i like reading one book at a time so I don’t mix up the characters. ? I tried so many times before and it is usually a failure on my imagination and I would re-read/listen to each one again.

I start the evening with the Bible. (I’m working at reading the entire book in a year. Some seriously boring stuff in the Old Testament. ???).

After that I’m reading James Clapper’s most recent book, Facts and Fears. Very good. I definitely recommend it.

After I’ve read that for a while and definitely need to get serious about going to sleep, I read some novel. Right now, I’m reading The Hangman’s Daughter. It’s okay. Helps me to settle into sleep.

You probably know this, but the each book of the Bible is a separate book. If you actually got through Numbers you have my deepest respect.
