How I read now

Over at dovegreyreader, Lynne has an interesting piece on how she reads. Basically, a “fast” book, that can be read in snatches where time allows and is completed very fast, as well as 3 ongoing books, read in stages, which might take some time.

This reminds me of the Nick Hornby talk (which I still haven't blogged, but I promise I will!), where he said he couldn't read more than two books at a time, and even with two, one had to be fiction and the other non-fiction.

Like Lynne, I do sometimes have ongoing books, usually big, un-luggable items of 500 or so pages, though sometimes it's a book that is just a "heavy" read. I'll also read a number of lighter (and more transportable) books at the same time. I used to be a prime offender in reading many, many books at the same time, but these days the need for completion is higher somehow...
