Do you usually read only one book at a time, cover to cover
or read many books in parallel? Either way, what are your reasons?
For me depends on the book - if it's hot in the attention
grabbing area then I'll finish it cover to cover usually in 1-2 days. If it's a
hard read then I'll have 2 books on the go at the same time.
Interest drives my habit of reading one book at a time, because
my selection of having a book is totally based on the intensity of my interest.
It depends on the content. I only read one novel for
enjoyment at a time. At other times I will be reading books that I intend to
use for references, a couple chaps a day, while reading a novel.
If it's a novel the definitely, if the chapters build on
each other than for sure the reader will not get the experience the author had
intended.
If each chapter largely focuses on a particular topic and
the structure of the book is explained both at the beginning and all the
chapters are tied together at the end then each chapter is like a mini book.
Reading many in parallel; hunger for learning new things at
same time, passion for particular topic, as well as, some books are more for
inspiration, some more for knowledge, some in the morning, some more in the evening
before going to sleep...
