@evan unfortunately my context switch latency is HUGE these days ;)

@evan I had to check my Bookwyrm profile and then add the one I haven't imported to the site yet.

@evan

It's always a question of how long since the last time I was reading a book before it moves from "currently reading" to "abandoned".

I have a couple ("Dhalgren" & "The Windup Girl") that have been parked for about a year now. I do plan to finish them eventually.

I have others that I've read sometime in the last two months ("Stand on Zanzibar", "The Dark Forest", "Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrell").

It's worse if I consider technical non-fiction books.

@evan

I've always got one book and one audiobook going.

@evan I'm always reading two books: one fiction, one non-fiction. Fiction in the evening, non-fiction earlier in the day. I've found it's better to keep them unrelated.

@evan I'm a strict one-at-a-time guy when it comes to books.

@evan One novel on paper, one novel in audiobook, one non-fiction on paper, one new cookbook.

@evan Always between 3 and 5.

@evan If it is more than
1 day
1 week
1 month
1 year
since I picked up the book, am I "still reading" it?

@evan Three on a rotating basis. I'm weird that way.

@evan Audiobooks, I don't read printed books IN what *timeframe* or do you mean, all at once? I've done more than 6 in August

@evan @dancinyogi
0. But it’s a time thing, not a will thing.

@evan @brion okay, by “reading” do you mean actively making progress in, or like… started it, made it through the first chapter, and now it sits in my bedside table with the six other books I also haven’t finished.

@evan i struggle so much to read and comprehend just a single book, i can hardly imagine how is even possible to read more than one book in parallel

@evan If I read a third of it and set it down 8 months ago but still own it, does that count as “reading”?

@evan

Currently:

1. Titanium Noir
2. Tyranny, Inc
3. The Myth of Capitalism

@evan I'm reading Book 7 of the Wheel of Time and, at your suggestion, I'm also reading Not Too Late. I highly recommend both (though Wheel of Time definitely has a tonne of problems...).

@evan
Per year/day/week/month ?

@evan I have 2 programming books that I'm always glancing through, but I'm not really reading them like you would a book :blobnerd:

@evan does it mean you will finish them ?

@evan One for fun, multiple for work and studies.

@evan Morning book, night book, book for work.
