How to Read 12 Books at Once
...wait like you don't, already? Though this is not at all like my own methods, which is "a different book in every room of the house." https://superorganizers.substack.com/p/surgical-reading-how-to-read-12-books
@mcfate I usually have 3-4 going at any one time, always on different topics. At the moment: an embroidery how-to, a writing techniques book. Autobiography of Malcom X, a history of homosexuality in the movies.
I just finished Mary Trump's book, and started "The Mushroom Hunters"; I'm reading a book on Japanese Zen and one on the Chinese equivalent; also working my way through a graph theory textbook and reading Dashiell Hammett's "Red Harvest" (which I'll finish today or tomorrow).
I prefer if I have at least one book made out of actual paper, because it's more pleasant to go outside and smoke a cigarette with a book than it is with an iPad.
I can't explain it, but it's a fact.

I try to limit myself to half a dozen or fewer, not always with great success. It's easier if they're on dissimilar topics.
I never read more than one fiction book at a time, getting those mixed up is really confusing.
