Does anyone read 2 books at once?

Yes, usually one fiction and one non-fiction book

Anyone else? Do you feel it messes with your concentration or vibe?

I read about 10 books at the same time.

Not a very good idea, but I can't help it.

But why?

This but right now I'm reading 2 non fiction books and 1 fiction book.

I can't read more than one fiction book at a time, else the stories tend to blend in my head. I've read two books at a time before but they were both nonfiction (Supposedlry fun thing I'll never do again, and When Engulfed in flames).

I'm currently reading The Republic but on the side listening to an audiobook of Storm of Steel. I've never listened to a full audiobook before but in this case it's kinda like having your grandfather tell you war stories. I might pick up a fiction book after, because The Republic is a little dense and I don't like reading it for long long spells. I think its nice to have one book which is dense and difficult, and another that is a little easier so you don't feel like you are buried under it all.

I usually read 4, 5 books simultaneously.

I usually read 3 books all at once. If I find one more interesting than the others I'll stick with that primarily and finish it off then go back to the other two and add in a third to then start the process over again.

I read two books but then I end up just reading one book and the other gets forgotten.

Forgot to mention what I was reading for points; New Atlantis by Francis Bacon, a collection of Kafka's short stories and Er ist Wieder Da by Timur Vermes.
