how many books do you read at the same time?

I usually have about three at the go at the same time.

I made it up to two, but I still prefer one after another...

me too, and now Iam reading Fabrik der Offiziere (Officers' Factory) by Hans Helmut Kirst, nice one :)

that's the danger of believing books

MAybe 3 or 4 but they are mainly INFORMATIVE books eg SAVILE's DESIGN or IN SEARCH OF TROY by MICHAEL WOOD.But if you had mentioned articles then i am ALWAYS reading old magazines with ELECTROIC,NEW ORDER,JOY DIVISION or music in general.Haven't thrown a mag away for about 25 years.As for the PORN stash.Well i have NONE! Today i was reading the UNCUT article about ELECTRONIC from 1999.Fabulous read too.What happens is when i buy them i am too scared of CREASING the pages so i have to wait 5 years before i consider them OLD.Still MINT but not as MINTY. SILENCE PLEASE

i'm currently reading:

1. stand, columbia by robert mccaughey (a history of my university)

2. palm sunday by kurt vonnegut

3. nausea by jean-paul sartre

4. fever pitch by nick hornby

i spend most of my time reading the last one as i can't believe it's taken me this long to get to it.

how many i actually finish is a different story!

Should we count the books that I haven't finished yet since the early 90's? Coz I consider finishing them one day soon.
