Do you read one book at a time or read two or more at the same time?

I usually read 2-3. One on audio, one eye-reading and the third usually a story collection or similar on audio, when I have just like 10 minutes

I almost always have three or four in progress. I don't recommend doing it my way.

I guess it depends on alternatives. Say, if no available audio-version (I consume on audio around 80% of books) and you have to only eye-read a book, why don't you have another, preferably unrelated, on audio?

Usually at least three, sometimes more, but they're all different genres.

I’m not systematic about it, but I always have multiple books going, typically unlike each other, though not necessarily of different genres. I also sometimes start a book and leave it unfinished for months or even years, before picking it up again. I’m usually working “seriously” to finish one or two books in the next few days.

I read well over half of mine on paper, most of the rest in the the library Libby app or in Kindle format on the iPad Kindle app or a Kindle reader. I never do audio books these days.

Usually 3 or more. Don't know why, but it always works that way.

I almost always have several going. I try to focus on one print book & one audio, but for various reasons, I start others. For the most part, I can hop around between them and keep the stories straight.

And occasionally I finish two books the same day, like yesterday.

Like many of you, I read 2-3 books at a time and have found reading books of different genres or subgenres really helps to keep the storylines straight
