Hi /Lit/
Do you like to finish a single book and move on to another one? or do you jump back and forth between multiple books/stories?
which method do you prefer and why?
>>8977715
why would you read multiple books at once? what is the benefit?

I read a few books at once, of different styles mostly. Usually fic/non fic and either a harder read or something casual, whatever fits the best. 3~
I have like one I read at home and one as an e-book I read while i'm in the bus for example.

I'm not sure, I don't think there are any benefits to it. I used to play games and when I get frustrated with the game at certain point, I jump into another game and come back to the first one to get me through the blockade. Maybe something like that?

Different moods? There are lots of benefits and reasons to have multiple books going.
For example, my bedside stack is probably six books deep now because I am doing research for my book. I need to brush up on genetics and botany and the physics of space...
But sometimes, I just want to relax and go to sleep, so I have a fictional piece and also one of short erotic stories... because, why not?
I usually have a novel that I read 80% of the time and a nonfiction that I read 20% of the time.
depends on what is on my reading to-do list.
if I'm reading fiction, I'd have two or more books going on at once.
Non-Fiction: I'm reading books one at a time, two if they correlate with each other, ie reading about the Siege of Leningrad while reading German, Spanish, and Soviet memoirs of the Siege.
As of now, I've been reading two books at a time.
