I consistently read several books at a time, naturally one of them will be more captivating than the rest so I'll finish that one sooner but yeah. I typically read at least one fiction book + a non-fiction one + some short stories anthology.

My reading is not really linear, sometimes I will start a book, read about 1/3 of it and then something else will catch my attention. If this is the case I'll come back to the temporarily abandoned book in a few weeks/months - I don't know if this waiting period counts as still reading it though.

I like reading more than one book because it enables me to read more since I can choose what I'm in the mood for.
