Me too, I would read a couple chapters of each book. When one was close to being finished I read it til it was done. I wanted to read the whole library when I was in junior high
When I was in college and taking several English courses, I easily read 4 or 5 books at the same time and managed to get through them. It wasn’t the ideal way to read because often I was just trying to finish them on deadline and didn’t absorb them fully. I’ve been a one-book-at-a-time reader since then.
When in graduate school I had to read as much as five books at once and we’re talking thick Victorian Dickensian length books. I had plenty of paper cuts to show for it
I’ve never understood why someone would want to read more than one book at a time (if not for school or research, obviously), as it seems distracting. Why not just finish the one you’re reading and move on? I really don’t get the appeal. Unless people are speed reading and not truly digesting the information and enjoying the natural pacing implicit in the writing.
20ish. I read multiple books all the time and keep a reading journal. Each month I list my current reads and finish dates. I also write down my thoughts about books and whether or not my kids will enjoy them (I homeschool).
Lots? Certainly more than 10. If I leave a book unfinished too long I might have to go back a chapter to get back into it, but I almost never DNF a book so I have quite a few sometimes that I have started and that just limp along a few pages at a time till I am in the right mood to finish them.
4?

I really couldn’t tell ya. It seems like every time I pass the bookshelf, I grab another book.

I get them confused if I read more than one at a time… but I usually only read in the evenings and usually get through a book in about 2-3 days…
7 books at a time once?
3. Mostly i can handle 3 at the same time. Never tried 4 though. 🙂
