has anyone ever done dual reading, where you read more than 1 book at the same time? i've tried it numerous times but always fail. I have this thing where i can believe it's easy to do but the execution is way harder - i am always confused. anyways i guess i'm asking because i would like to know for those who do it, how do you guys manage and if the genres are seperate and that's why???
