I am reading 5 different books right now. Is that weird?

Idk, I used to read 3 or 4 at a time. Sometimes your brain needs the variety.

Different authors have different styles and write about different topics. If I'm reading something heavy, I like to balance it out with something light or humorous. Sometimes I'll be interested in how-to books or compendiums which are kind of boring and need to balanced with some engaging fiction. Maybe I've been reading the same author or same genre for a while and need to break the monotony with someone or something new.

5 might be a bit much though. If I ever get to 5, that probably means I've given up on one of those books. I tend to want to finish what I start

Oh not weird at all!! I am a poly reader too, I read multiple books at once. 🥰

Poetry I dip into each day. Technically, that’s a book.

Lonely Planet covers different artists. So I can continue that from time to time.

My main book is quite long. But my free time is uneven. It’s taken two and a half weeks so far.
I do not scam.

No, I find myself with the same scatter brained problems from time to time, Sometimes the only way to finish is to just pick one and go through it.

God knows how many books I've got on the go; both physically and on my kindle lol

You should see how many I have stored in my kindle, those will take the rest of my life

I can't do that - OCD

Lmao that is a bit weird. Most I can do at a time are 3

It's 3 at a time max for me before it becomes an overwhelming jumble

Not as weird as reading 5 copies of the same book.. But it is out there..😷
